Currently we support English and Spanish which are both generally Subject-Verb-Object, and our sentences are simple enough that this always works:

Wow, you made %s cakes? Maybe you should be training me!

However for more complex cases and different languages which use Subject-Object-Verb, this ordering might vary from language. Instead of %s Godot also supports key/value pairs:

Wow you made {cake_count} cakes? Maybe you should be training me!

This is more flexible and lets localization teams vary the word order.
