As others have said, I was talking about concatenation as opposed to interpolation. Interpolation still has challenges. It's hard to make arbitrary sentences with many placeholders work with agreement. But concatenation is almost always a bad choice. Also am not talking about this as an absolute moral-ethical challenge. In the examples I gave, it's usually less work long term on the developer to do the right thing, and a more efficient use of translation budget because you're not spending money to get convoluted translations that sound confusing or don't sound idiomatic. Why bother translating if your users are going to use English anyways?
