I like the text.

Remembering the discussion on Native Language Support (gettext) I like
to point out that it isn't possible to find matches for those sequences
in other languages, because the word order could be different:

             (princ "You have invoked the disabled command ")
           (princ "You have typed ")
           (princ (key-description keys))
           (princ ", invoking disabled command ")))
       (princ this-command)
       (princ ".\n")

English version (simplified):
("You have invoked the disabled command %s.")
German (the verb comes last):
("Sie haben den abgeschalteten Befehl %s aufgerufen.")

This basically means, you must avoid concatenating message fragments; it
is recommended to use `format' or other printf like forms.  I hope it
is clear what I want to say.
