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.
