Dear CB developers,
I have already tried to draw your attention to this once [1], but I still hope you can start considering I18N and L10N issues a bit more seriously in the future if you'd like your software to be adopted worldwide more.
String substitution might seem great to the developer as it makes coding easier, but string substitution rules that work for English simply do not work in many other languages, for reasons of capitalization rules, gender, plural rules, noun declension, word order, etc.
Pretty please, have this in mind when adding new functionality and strings to CB, the new cbteamplugins_language.php is full of them which cannot be properly and meaningfully localized.
