He did say "sane". Good internationalisation requires you know where the messages are and where the substitutions (%foo) are. So the entire operation would in fact require 1. An option to set "translation friendly please" 2. A tiny modification to the snprintfoo code to support putting some kind of marker before/after arguments and maybe doubling a symbol to avoid vagueness The submission is overkill compared to what is required for translation tools and syslog.
