Everywhere? No. That has potential to break a couple of translations, because the i18n gem does different things when `I18n.t` is called with interpolation values. And it adds a small performance penalty. I wouldn’t want to go down that road.

But, we could extend the existing functionality that already allows certain interpolation keys for all `user_notifications.user_` translations even though they do not exist in the English strings.
