This looks much better but I would prefer for argument (%1) to be used 
inside of returned string. This is more similar to what we have now in

As for syntax, I would only limit number of magic characters (@${}) to 
something simpler (${} or @{}) to avoid spelling errors. Maybe other 
translators would speak out if they find it a problem :)
