String.format has support for ordered parameters:

String.format("%3$s %2$s %1$s %2$s", "a", "b", "c");

Output: c b a b

In other words Italians can use something like this:
gate.name=%2$s Gate %1$s

Nothing required.

Ok, I'll try that.
If you don't mind I'll change the readme to let other translaters know this.

Provided that the BC code already provides this level of support :-) Otherwise, changing the calls to String.format is not a big deal.

@SpaceToad
GateDefinition.java:

...
            return String.format(StringUtils.localize("gate.name"), StringUtils.localize("gate.material." + material.getTag()),
                    StringUtils.localize("gate.logic." + logic.getTag()));

BC code already provides this level of support :)
You can close this.

Cool then. Thanks guys :-)

Thanks a lot for the info :D

Just want to confirm that this work.

Thanks for the confirmation @TheVikingWarrior!
