That's why the %s is part of the string to be translated, you can always
add a formatting convention that would flip the inserted string ;-

)



Readers in rtl languages (which rarely use Latin characters to begin with)
tend to expect untranslated words will remain "unflipped" as well - so
"drowssap root" would be expected, while "drowssap toor" would just look
odd.  It's also worth noting, here, that we have a plethora of other
untranslated terms scattered throughout the existing translations, so
whatever mechanism those are using is probably the (currently) preferred
one.  I'd suggest taking a peek at a few to see what's already being done
in this area.
