You will need to use a ResourceBundle in cooperation with a MessageFormat. The API documentation includes a description of how it works. There is also a reasonable demo and explanation of how to use these classes together in The Java Tutorial at Dealing with Compound Messages.

In your case, you would use a one element Object array with the format pattern, changing the element to the appropriate order number as needed.
