Details:

Java has two kinds of format string syntaxes: the MessageFormat one and the
printf one, cf.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html and
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#format(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object...)

Gettext so far supports only the first one:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/java_002dformat.html .
It should support the second one as well.
