Hmmm, you're asking me to teach you about Plural-Forms. Tricky..:-) I suggest you have a look at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/gettext_150.html You'll see that, when a software uses the plural forms functionnality of gettext, PO files must include information about them. Software like KBabel do this automatically. Example for French # French translation of aptitude messages # Copyright (C) 2001, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # Martin Quinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2001. # Christian Perrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2004. # msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: aptitude 0.4.1\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" "POT-Creation-Date: 2006-06-14 20:19-0700\n" "PO-Revision-Date: 2006-03-15 15:26+0100\n" "Last-Translator: Jean-Luc Coulon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n" "Language-Team: French <[email protected]>\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" "Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n>1;\n" This means that, in French, we have two forms: -the singular, which is used when there is 0 or 1 object(s) -the plural, which is used when there is more than 1 object I don't know whether Khmer has different forms or not. For instance, your Vietnamese neighbours have NO plural forms: "Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0\n" It seems that, actually, many Asian languages have very simple Plural forms. In the PO file itself, when a string uses Plural forms, you'll find this: (French translation): #: src/broken_indicator.cc:330 #, c-format msgid "%d install" msgid_plural "%d installs" msgstr[0] " %d à installer" msgstr[1] " %d à installer" (Vietnamese translation) #: src/broken_indicator.cc:330 #, c-format msgid "%d install" msgid_plural "%d installs" msgstr[0] "%d lần cài" PS: yes, this is complicated when one discovers this..:-)
