I appreciate what you are trying to do, but there's two problems with
this approach:

* "action" is untranslated
* This assumes we can translated the "Will X in X if..." in the correct
order. Most of the time tenses or other parts of the sentence change, so
you have to be really careful optimizing stuff.

I will split the sentences up, as the first is common.

Does this make sense?
