Summary

0001127: Please use plural forms

Description

Hi,

It looks like Kdenlive doesn't use plural forms in UI. E.g. from ru.po:

#: src/clipproperties.cpp:499 src/slideshowclip.cpp:130
#, kde-format
msgid "%1 images found"
msgstr "??????? %1 ???????????"

A translator could bypass this limitation by changing words like "Images found: %1", but it's not how humans talk really :)

So please use proper plural forms (ngettext).

(0003889) j-b-m (administrator) 2009-09-12 22:47	Right, in KDE, we need to change the strings from: i18n("%1 files were deleted", numFilesDeleted); to: i18np("1 file was deleted", "%1 files were deleted", numFilesDeleted); i18np uses the first string when the arg equals one and the second one otherwise. I will start updating the stings right now.
