I find
strf::make_string(value, " in hexadecimal is ", {value, "#x"})
not easy to translate.
This would be written like this:
strf::make_string(value, gettext(" in hexadecimal is "), {value, "#x"})
but it works much better for translators to have the full sentence
gettext("{0} in hexadecimal is {1}")
I understand that what you save the time to parse the string doing so.
Could have something like
make_string("{0} in hexadecimal is {1}").with({value0, fmt0}, {value1, fmt1})?
This would keep the parsing very simple and quick and still allow for
compile time parsing of the format (with template facets).
