It won't make it in several languages. Non european languages follow strange
rules that are hard to even imagine (sometimes no verb, sometimes no
adjective, sometimes only aggregates, etc...).
You should simply create different strings: "Create a new view", "Create a new
table", etc...

No, it was just a 0.02 cents remark.
To summarise, when possible, sentences should never be built by a
search/replace mechanism like "%s". If you use "%s", be sure the replaced
string is completely invariable (the name of a user, etc...).
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
