By using the Format function. For example:
resourcestring
rsWelcomeMsg =
'Welcome user %s'+LineEnding+'You have %d time units left';
...
Popup1.TextY.Caption := format(rsWelcomeMsg, [LoggedInUser, Units]);
A translation in Dutch could then be
'Welkom, je hebt nog %1:d tijd eenheden over, %0:s.'
which has the order of the parameters switched.
