This does not require design input. I know how to code this not because
I'm a designer, but because I’ve seen engineers do it before:

Make the string of the form "Enter the Ubuntu One password for %s". Then
translators can include text before and/or after the "%s". Then when you
display the localized text, display the e-mail address part on its own
line.

** No longer affects: ubuntu-ux

Title:
  "Enter the Ubuntu One password for" needs a placeholder

Bug description:
  Reported on the ubuntu-translators mailing list:

  Hi. I'm translator for Korean language (ko).
  Upon translating 'pay-ui', I found this string hard to translate.

  ../app/ui/DirectPurchase.qml:95

  The string is : Enter the Ubuntu One password for
  However, as Korean language (and other E.Asian languages)has opposite
  sequence of words, it is hard to translate a string that would be preceded
  by other word.

  Please add some placeholder (such as {a} on the string) to make it easier
  to translate.

  Thanks
  MinSik CHO
