Three placeholders in one string named in the same way make the translation impossible

Description

In PO file there are strings containing two and more placeholders with the same name which makes their translation almost impossible. Here is an example:
%s of %s support threads in the last %s have been resolved. (References: plugins/_support.php:50).
In Armenian, the correct order should be something like : In the last %s there have been resolved %s support threads out of %s. If you would name variables with numbers added, it would be no problem to change the order ...

#: wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php:602
msgid "Displaying %s–%s of %s"

This is a deprecated admin string in WP itself. Are you seeing this actively used somewhere? Though available for translation, the string being deprecated means it should not be used anywhere and won't be maintained by WP going forward.

OK, thanks for clarifying, I did not know if the second string is in use or not. BTW, I have checked the first reported string at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/plugins/hy/ and it is still there without any changes ...
