Ah, you're right, this is not the abbreviation for "seconds". > plurals is a mess in Danish (when translated from English), a single rule > cannot be applied. It could be nothing, e, *er, r or really messy as minut > (plural: minutter). > > sekund - sekunder er added > minut - minutter ter added > time - timer r added Yeah, that's the limit of assuming that every language is as simple as English. This very very very crude method doesn't work well in most languages, the worst being slavic or arabic languages where plural depends on the number.... I would indeed recommend "translating" as "r" even if that will make a spelling error with "sekund" and "minut". People will think that "sekundr" and "minutr" are a kind of abbreviation..:-) For your reference, Norwegian Bokmål (if I'm correct, it is quite close from Danish as it is derived from it) chose to use "er" there. --
