Would probably use the numbered replacement format. In english, your format string would be:
@"%1$@... %2$@... %3$@..."
And in the other language, it'd be:
@"%2$@... %1$@... %3$@..."
Then you'd use it like normal:
NSString * translated = [NSString stringWithFormat:format, value1, value2, value3];
We do this all over the place in an app I work on, and it works very very well.
HTH,
