Bug Description

While translating Telegram I came across some strings like:

- sent you a photo
- sent you a video
- sent you a message

It seems there is part of the sentence missing, that could probably be added using a variable. Truncated (and concatenated at runtime) strings do not generally work well with some languages, and with RTL languages they don't work at all.
