There are some strings where either of these choices would be bad. That's why I support option (b) if it is feasible. E.g. Delete this file. (Trinti šį failą) Delete the following files. (Trinti šiuos failus) Stripping the 1st form would make the case n==1 clumsy. Stripping the second case would make cases n==23, 31, etc clumsy. So stripping either of them is at the best choosing the lesser evil. Such strings were the main reason why KDE S.C. Lithuanian translators did such intrusive change. There are a lot of such strings in KDE S.C. and other projects and it is not possible to fix them without ugly hacks in the source by adding 2 strings and if-else statements. -- Plural translations are broken for Lithuanian language https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
