IIRC currently formatting arguments in translation should match original
string, otherwise formatting is considered incorrect. It is not very
flexible, but it is simple and allows to avoid subtle errors in
translations.

Probably this check can be relaxed/made more elaborate, but I don't
think it is worth potential risks and complications.
