Hi!

Please work it out using variable placeholders, i.e %d and a comment.

That way, we, at the Arabic team (we use both Arabic and Hindu numerals
for different locales) could just use %Id and the application will
display the right numerals upon reading the locale. 

If you use 1, 2, etc verbatim we will just copy them and nobody will get
the benefit.
