While working on a translation update, I came across the following:
if (segments.size() == 1)
text = tr("Turn Linked Segment into Real Copies");
else
text = tr("Turn Linked Segments into Real Copies");
The translation of plurals requires special consideration for the languages
that have more complex number systems, and this code is going to have to be
rewritten, and the translations updated, to get translations done properly in
those languages.
I hadn't dealt with this issue myself in quite a long time, so I had to
experiment to come up with a solution.
QString text = tr("Turn %n Linked Segment(s) into Real Copies", "",
segments.size());
I haven't found a way to use the %n place marker for plural handling without
having to stick the number in the text somewhere. This is mildly annoying,
but it seems to be a hard limitation of Qt.
This stuff isn't the end of the world or anything, but since we have several
new developers at work around here, I thought it was worth mentioning the
issue for people to keep in mind when writing new strings.
