I'm trying to get this result:

John has a red farm in Oslo.

XML

<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" TextWrapping="Wrap">
     <TextBlock.Text>
          <MultiBinding StringFormat="- John has a {0} {1} in {2}.">
               <Binding Path="ColorName"/>
               <Binding Path="BuildingName"/>
               <Binding Path="LocationName"/>
          </MultiBinding>
     </TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>

But I don't know how to get the variable words in bold.

I'm open for any suggestions, even if they completely differ from my code. All I want is the desired result and it has to be translateable.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Found a post here - just one solution is given there but it might help.

You could actually use multiple text blocks - some bold and others normal to display data.

I'm also using MVVM pattern.

The solution you linked with the span's in the middle is the same as cutting up the sentance with multiple text blocks. This is how I'm doing it now, but the problem is translation.

Translating "John has a" and "in" seperately will give wrong results in some languages.

To make it clear for the translaters I need to keep the sentance as: "John has a X1 X2 in X3." With explenations about the Xx.

You can't do it in a single TextBlock control.
