Follow-up Comment #2, bug #16896 (project freeciv):
The function appears to be:
static const char *number_to_ordinal_string(int num)
{
static char buf[16];
char fmt[] = "(%d%s)";
fc_assert_action(num > 0, num = (num % 10) + 10);
if ((num % 10) == 1 && num != 11) {
fc_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, num, _("st"));
} else if ((num % 10) == 2 && num != 12) {
fc_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, num, _("nd"));
} else if ((num % 10) == 3 && num != 13) {
fc_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, num, _("rd"));
} else {
fc_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, num, _("th"));
}
return buf;
}
It is really English-language hard-coded. At least, an easy improvement can
be done, to have string "%dst", "%dnd", "%drd", and "%dth" to translate.
However, it will not match all languages.
e.g., in French, there are 2 main forms: 1er, 2ème, 3ème, etc. Only 1 is a
special case. So, 21 will be buggy in that language anyway. I think it's the
same for Indonesian. I doubt gettext as good support to handle this
correctly.
Another approach would be to avoid the usage those strings: e.g. "rank %d/%d
players").
