ResourceManager's getString() method does parameter substitution. Its
signature is
public function getString(bundleName:String, resourceName:String,
parameters:Array = null,
locale:String = null):String

Thanks. It's not a matter of urgency.
I could also imagine passing a globalSettings.localeChanged flag to
buildTitle.
It might be a nice addition to add a getStringWithSubstitution to
ResourceManager, that took a ..rest parameter and called
StringUtil.substitute() on the retrieved string.
