Bug Description
describedepcon() is at depcon.c:150.
This function forces word order to 'S + V + O' and isn't l10n friendly.
Korean has 'S + O + V' order and very hard to translate.
Only tricky way can be used to translate.

For example, there is a sentence to translate "A depends on B". But, only "depends on" is in translation template and describedepcon() is making the complete string by concatenating "A", translation of "depends on", and "B".
This should be changed to use format string like "%s depends on %s". Thanks.
