| Description | Language strings like the following are problematic:
AWARD_ON=Award given on {1} As it can evaluate like "Award given on Today" i.e. there is a context-sensitivity that our language strings cannot capture. Trying to split out strings would create a huge mess. Besides, different languages have different composition issues. To solve this we should allow language strings to identify themselves for post-processing, and allow languages to add custom code to do it. AWARD_ON=Award given {{on {1}}} "{{...}}" would indicate the need for processing, and our code would see the issue and strip the word "on". |

We can have a whole system of automatic language options that alter a language and apply at the language file compilation stage.
