I understand why you chose parameters to reduce the number of strings. :)

It's of course much easier to translate now. Just out of interest. Is there no chance to give the parameters an order in C? It would sometimes really be necessary to reorder parameters in translation. I think I saw some funny phrases in the Turkish translation because of this forced order of parameters.
