Windows already has this facility built in to FormatString. I wonder if
there is a similar function baked into the GUI library that we use.

Another idea (pseudocode):
x = _("Transfer at most %1 MB every %2 days")
(a,b,c) = split x at %* boundaries
if %1 precedes %2 in x
insert a, text field for MB, b, text field for days, c
else
insert a, text field for days, b, text field for MB, c
We could use this idea everywhere a control breaks up a string
