Despite voices against, I decided to use gettext in my Ada program.

I could form a string as a concatenation:

"Wrong number of predicates <" & URL & "> in node " & URL2 & "."

but this cannot be used with gettext.

I need instead single string like

"Wrong number of predicates <%s> in node %s."

as in C.

The syntax may be different than in C, for example:

"Wrong number of predicates <{arg1}> in node {arg2}."

Which Ada (2012) library would you suggest for such short string templates?
