Bad string concatenation for l10n

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

While translating ubuntuone-client for Mavercik, I found a strange string:

Published at

Looking at the code, looks like that string is constructed appending different strings together. This is the part of the code:

question = g_string_append (question, "\t- ");
question = g_string_append (question, key);
question = g_string_append (question, _(" (Published at "));
question = g_string_append (question, value);
question = g_string_append (question, ")\n");

I'm not a Glib expert, but isn't it possible to use g_string_append_printf() or g_string_append_vprintf() to construct at least the "Published at" part? There could be languages that need to change the position of "value" to render the string in their own language.

Also, if possible, I would rather remove "padding" white spaces from a translatable string: by mistake somebody could take them out from the translation.

Thanks.
