Could not do task <X> because of condition <Y>
might, under different grammatical rules of another language, have to be
written as
A condition <Y> prevented doing task <X>
A truly horrible kludge I've used in that case is to put this in my code:
printf( msg[code], taskname, condname, taskname );
and in English, msg[code] would be
"Could not do task %s because of condition %s\n"
(the extra arg to printf is ignored). If someone needed to translate to
a language that went the other way, they could do this:
"A condition %0s%s prevented doing task %s\n"
If the error message has three parameters, I'd write
printf( msg[code], p1, p2, p3, p2, p1, p2, p3 );
and so on. I'm definitely not proud of this gross hack.
