Simpler would be to format arguments separately:

	 (setq from-coding (read-coding-system
			    (format-prompt (format "Recode filename %s from"
                                                   filename)
				           default-coding)
			    default-coding))

that would allow easier replacement of 'format' with 'gettext' later:

	 (setq from-coding (read-coding-system
			    (format-prompt (gettext "Recode filename %s from"
                                                     filename)
				           default-coding)
			    default-coding))
