I don't do much with different human languages, but it's possible that
you might build up a message in a variety of different ways, and
include tokens differently. Maybe you'd include a product name in two
different places, and each translation would get to choose which of
the lines includes it. Maybe there's a fixed string that carries the
sense of what you're saying better than the parameterized one does, so
you ignore the parameter. It's the same flexibility as reordering
tokens, but some tokens get reordered to nowhere. (Is it still a
teleportation spell when the destination is oblivion? -- Venser)
