 Yeah, idea here is principle of least surprise. Most lcoalization tools 
pre-populate the translations with the keys, so having the positional indices 
in there would mean nobody forgets it and then gets back a translation with the 
contents reversed (admittedly, since you're using the same %@ format for 
everything, at least your code won't crash. In ObjC, if someone swapped out a 
%@ and a %d, you got some "hilarious" results).
