Thread:Support/More efficient text generation/reply (2)

What sort of problems prevent using a template-like text? Is there any language in which, for instance, replacing the name of a country would result in rephrasing the whole sentence? That doesn't seem plausible to me. Can you point me to the discussion where those problems were identified and the decision was taken?

Anyway, if there are indeed such languages, then there must be some other ways to automate the text generation, without sacrificing the quality for the end user, at least in part or at least for those many languages where this is possible. The way things are done now is simply stone-age style. I'm pretty sure the original English messages weren't written manually one by one, but in some sort of automatic way.

By the way, duplication is a bitter euphemism here. If I just had to double my effort I wouldn't bother asking. But I counted some 100 odd messages and there are probably many more on the way, for other jurisdictions and licenses. So calling it hundred-plication or thousand-plication would be more appropriate.
