[swift-evolution] Localization support for string interpolation

[Uli Kusterer]

 Daniel, thanks for posting this. As you already know from Twitter, I'm very much in favor of this proposal. I can pretty much not use string interpolation because it doesn't localize properly.

 One request: Could you perhaps use positional syntax? In some languages, the word order of the placeholders needs to change, and there needs to be a way to detect that the translator swapped two placeholders. In NSLocalizedString, that is done via %1$@, %2$@.
