	Most programming languages support some kind of parameter substitution. This mechanism can be used to refactor concatenation into proper resources. For instance, you could have a string like "{0} is {1} years old." for a Java string using the MessageFormat class to replace parameter '0' with the value of 'user' and parameter '1' with the value of 'age'. The resource in the resource bundle would then look like the following:		Most programming languages support some kind of parameter substitution.

	If a translator ends up with four segments to translate, the overall sentence is lost. Furthermore, even if the translator could translate it correctly, the word order is different by languages, the grammar is different too. For instance, in French, <i>a person <b>has</b> four years</i>. Without the context of the full sentence, a translator could not guess ~~where~~ "is" will be used.

	For applications which need to execute in different locales, strings which are visible to the user should not be concatenated. Some feedback from Lingoport clients on this particular problem, before being internationalized properly:		For applications which need to execute in different locales, strings which are visible to the user should not be concatenated.
