Hi Martin The issue of the plurals were recently discussed on the translate-devel mailing list, and I'd like to link to it: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20100422204109.aaacf9d3.pknbe%40volny.cz&forum_name=translate-devel Plurals in your case in particular is maybe a bit easier, but in general it is complex to know which form of the translation should be compared to which form of the source text. If any possible error is detected, the test will complain about the whole unit. So in this case, at least the singular seems to be unchanged, so even if we do something more clever for the plural, I guess the test will always (and rightly so) indicate that something in this unit is unchanged. What is the behaviour that you suggest?
