How should we fix the Aisleriot hint strings?



Aisleriot has the following bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551859

In aisleriot we have a string "Move %s onto %s.", used for most hints.
Each %s is the name of a card. Sometimes the second %s is something
like "an empty foundation slot".

We currently have 1 string for each card.

The bug reporter links to this page:
http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Never_split_sentences

There are 54 different possible cards and 3 possible kinds of empty
slots. To avoid splitting this sentence, we would need 54*57=3078
strings.

What can we provide that would allow you to translate the hints
sanely, without creating thousands of strings?
