[Engine-devel] Localization of canDoAction error messages

[Martin Sivak]

Hi Einav,

I know about this procedure, but if you check closely what I am doing, I need to print a list of messages at once where each has a different content.

Something like this (again the strings are just an illustration):

------------- Error ----------------------
The VM net-A could not be started because
there was no fitting host available.

Host host-A failed constraint memory
Host host-B failed constraint cpu load
Host host-C failed constraint memory
------------------------------------------

I am pretty sure the replacing we have in VdcBllMessages does not support this as it cannot assign two or more different values to the same variable.
