I do not understand :( If you mean strings like "Page " and " of ", than this is a good example of how NOT to create texts for translations. In some language there is no such thing as "of" and the whole thing will not make sense. Such phrases should be translated as one sentence: "Page $1%d of $2%d". Than translators can make the best equivalents.

I used to learn Finnish and if I remember correctly, it does not have prepositions at all. So they will translate the above phrase differently than English speakers can imagine. If anyone from the Finnish team is watching, how would you write "Page 5 of 10" in Finnish? :)
