Would probably use the numbered replacement format. In english, your format string would be:
@"%...@... %...@... %...@..." And in the other language, it'd be: @"%...@... %...@... %...@..." Then you'd use it like normal: NSString * translated = [NSString stringWithFormat:format, value1, value2, value3]; We do this all over the place in an app I work on, and it works very very well.
