Dwayne,
The situation is a bit confusing because I'm not involved in the
length of the loop (meaning that the dangerous plural error
reported is something that happened to others, not me).
The bottom line is that if I define a language (through the GUI):
# Icelandic
is.fullname = u'Icelandic'
is.nplurals = '2'
is.pluralequation = '(n != 1)'
When I add the language to a project through the GUI, Pootle
generates the /is/ directory with all the PO files. Fine, but the
"Plural-forms" line in them is the one noted below -- iow, a non
valid line.
The unsafeness or dangerousness error reported downstream could
just be result of the invalid line, but the first issue is why
does Pootle generate it in the first place?
As a side issue, is there a 'central repository' for plural
formulas? I failed to find one. Improvising on this is something
I would like to avoid...
Cheers,
Xavier
