@leeloo @Sarnau @mayo @dasdom It reveals that someone did write “Cannot delete because already installed.” (No more, no less.)
How substitution strings are constructed is well documented, so I am very confident that “Cannot delete because already installed.” does not contain any substitution marker.
I used the strings (that does things on executables on macOS) command to simplify the command/output for the post but I did verify it without strings.

@teilweise @Sarnau @mayo @dasdom Are you running strings on source code or binary code? And if the latter, where is it documented how the compiler does string substitutions? Do you even know which compiler was used? Which language? If it wasn't such nice weather today (and even better the next couple of days) I would be tempted to write a test program just to see if I can get the Swift compiler to generate the result you show.
