A language may have different word order from English. Consider an example sentence:
that will be formatted to:
Sentence <b>foo</b> <i>bar</i>.
While translating to another language, the translator might need to change the order of placeholders:
{Bar} {foo} seeeenteeeeenceeee.
This will still be formatted in the original order like this:
<b>Bar</b> <i>foo</i> seeeenteeeeenceeee.
Many i18n frameworks have placeholders with number:
these placeholders can be moved to break the order and still work.
While I really like your placeholder concept, I suggest adding a feature like this, add an order number as a prefix:
Sentence {1:foo} {2:bar}.
therefore we can translate it like this:
{2:Bar} {1:foo} seeeenteeeeenceeee.
