This vaguely sounds familiar: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/218173 http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Plural-forms In the English singular case, the number – always 1 – can be replaced with "one": printf (ngettext ("One file removed", "%d files removed", n), n); This works because the ‘printf’ function discards excess arguments that are not consumed by the format string. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
