Nautilus tag for multiple copies of a file
Hello list, as I am sure that many of you know, there is a tag in nautilus that shows that a file is n-th copy of another file. For example, if you have a file named abc.file and copy it several times in the same folder, you'll get files with filenames like this: abc (copy).file, abc (second copy).file, abc (third copy).file, abc (4-th copy).file...and so on. I have a problem translating these tags in Macedonian, because unlike in English, the suffix for the 4th, 5th, nth... item is not the same (th) as the suffix of the 7th and the 8th. Here is what I'm trying to explain: In English In Macedonian 3-rd copy 3-та копија 4-th copy 4-та копија 5-th copy 5-та копија 6-th copy 6-та копија 7-th copy 7-ма копија (Notice that instead of -та, there is a -ма here...) 8-th copy 8-ма копија (...and here) 9-th copy 9-та копија So the problem is that in the nautilus .po file you can only translate -th as -та, but the tags for the 7th and 8th copies of a file are incorrect. Other languages, like Serbian may have this problem also(I'm not totally sure though). Any ideas how can I resolve this problem?

Hi Jovan, For Serbian, full stop after a number makes it ordinal[1] so we are using . instead all sufixes except 1st and 2nd (3. умножак, 5. умножак etc.) For first we have just умножак and we are translating 2nd copy as додатни умножак (~additional copy).

Counting words in Damned Lies
Hello, would it be possible to show word counts instead of strings in Damned Lies? String count is not very useful for a translator: some packages contain hundreds of 1-word strings, and others just a few long paragraphs. I know strings are easier to count [1], but counting words isn't that big a deal either. Adapt to the user, not to the computer, right? Would anyone else be interested in such a feature? [1] I could imagine problems with counting words in some non-Latin languages, but my knowledge in this area is next to zero.

Re: Counting words in Damned Lies
would it be possible to show word counts instead of strings in Damned Lies? ... Please not in stead off. How about just next to ? I agree it would be a nice feature, but we will still also need the string count. A string is the natural unit for the size of .po file, so we will still be needing it when comparing the stats for the file to those for the same file on other servers, say in the different distributions file servers.
