Description:
Using two or more mini-strings with unknown content between is bad i18n practice. KDE calls them "word puzzles": https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Localization/i18n_Mistakes#Pitfall_#2:_Word_Puzzles

Better practice, which allows more flexible translation, would be to use a single string which includes a variable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-master/swmessages/en/?checksum=b4518772080f7067 and https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-master/swmessages/en/?checksum=e8bbd55e1ad068b0


Actual Results:
Word puzzle -style strings are used.

Expected Results:
A single string with a variable is used.


Reproducible: Always
