These strings are untranslatable in many languages, as the number is
missing from the sentence, and they cannot be translated in a correct
or understandable way, as the number would need to be rearranged
within the sentence.
In general, it's always a bad idea to split sentences, which in most
cases results in missing context or untranslatable strings.
