Hi, you cannot take a string produced by Rails (or anything) and then just prepend or append any random words to it in OSM strings. That is just invalid Internationalization (i18n) of the program. You must allow for translation of whole strings or sentences, you cannot randomly concatenate strings into a sentence. The added words may change the context of the whole sentence and cause some of the other concatenated parts to require different forms of the translated words.
See the discussion at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating_talk:OpenStreetMap#About_Osm:User_blocks.helper.short.time_in_future_title/en .
