Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

There is a string in the code that reads "%s updated %s"

Without any context (i.e. a translator comment in the code) it's not possible to guess what it refers to.

It would be great if a comment were provided, or even better to use named arguments, which would allow translators to rearrange their position, which might be needed for some languages, but it's currently not possible just using the %s form.

E.g. use "%(thisthing)s updated %(thisotherthing)s"

Thanks!
