Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Please avoid hardcoding spaces like this. Some languages (eg. Chinese)
 don't use spaces at all, for them it make the whole thing look wrong
 without any way to fix it.

 {{{
 error_msg << B_TRANSLATE("Error while authenticating user") << " " << uid;
 }}}

 This makes it impossible :
   * To have no space before the uid in languages where it isn't needed
   * To do the right thing when a language needs something such as "Error
 while authenticating %uid% user".

 Please use BString ReplaceFirst API instead for building strings from
 separate variables.
