Just for clarity Gettext plurals will always contain a numeral 1, 10, 100, whatever. Some people have talked about excluding the number, but mostly its frowned upon as it potentially would break variable substitution. So the idea of No, None, Zero houses would not happen it would need to be expressed as '0 houses'. I know Gettext doesn't do negative numbers, does it do zero? I'd say its safe to adopt the Spanish n!=1 as a translator can still then choose to use the correct or the TV form. > > > > Now, the question is how to contact site admin in order to implement > > this in pootle. > > You have to contact Pootle developers, because Aymará isn't in > http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms If you put it there we'll make sure it gets packaged with future versions of Pootle. Any live instance will need to add those to the pootle.prefs file. -- Dwayne Bailey Associate +27 12 460 1095 (w) Translate.org.za +27 83 443 7114 (c) Recent blog posts: * Fixes for Skype Video, Webcam on Fedora http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/dwayne/en/content/fixes-skype-video-webcam-fedora * libtranslate, TM plugins and Virtaal * Localisation Information Language - preventing mistakes and increasing the richness of localisation Stop Digital Apartheid! - http://www.digitalapartheid.com Firefox web browser in Afrikaans - http://af.www.mozilla.com/af/ African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) - http://africanlocalisation.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Translate-pootle mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle
