Okay, now I'm confused. Which number will indicate that the string
goes plural? In English, I think "Sticky Notes" can stay plural even
if the value of {1} is 1. But I don't know how other languages would
prefer to phrase that. Then, we have "were successfully imported",
which seems dependent on the value of {0}, ie:
"1 of 3 Sticky Notes was successfuly imported into Tomboy".
Is the conjugation of "were/was/to be" dependent on "1" or "3"? And
is this different for different languages?
So, yeah, I'm confused about what number I should pass in to
GetPluralString to determine whether or not the text should be plural.
Should I break this up into seperate strings? If so, how?
Thanks for any advice,
Sandy
