  • Are variables whose value is determined by dynamically by the context.
  • Are represented by a number enclosed in percent signs (e.g. "%1%").
  • Must be included in the translation, but because different languages have different grammar rules, translators need to be aware of the type of information being handled in any given variable in any given context.
