So it does not work, unfortunately. The plus side is it would be very
concise compared to laying every combination as entire sentences.
However, if it worked, I think it would be a bit difficult to translate
and translators would be prone to commit some mistake somewhere. It may
be harder to translate a sentence by its bits than translate it as a
whole.
