Use:
core.error(_("Unable to remove space time dataset register table %s") %
self.get_stds_register())
Using substitution allows the position of the subject/object to be
changed if that's appropriate for a particular language. Appending
means that it has to come at the end, which can sometimes require
contrived and/or grammatically incorrect translations.
If a string contains more than one substitution, it's better to use
the dictionary form, to allow the order to be changed. Unlike C's
printf(), Python doesn't support the "%1$s" notation.
