No, only if it was sprintf(_("The <b>heading</b> is at %s inches"), $v). See
the difference? In your case you can separate "Heading:" and "%s inches"
because only the words order in sentences might change but not in tabular
data.

No, this wouldn't work, you *have to* use placeholders (%s, %d etc).
