Answer 1

It depends on the language, but basically, yes, you can always.

printf(_("Hi, my name is %s and I am %s"), name, prof);

in c.

echo sprintf(_("Hi, my name is %s and I am %s"), $name, $prof);

in php.

alert( _('Hi, my name is %s and I am %s')
    .replace('%s',name).replace('%s',prof) );

in javascript or better something like:

alert( _('Hi, my name is %1 and I am %2')
    .replace('%1',name).replace('%2',prof) );
