they are correct with regards to the plural form, yes, I was pointing to the fact that these: Try <a href="search-unsupported:">the %(amount)d item that matches</a> in software not maintained by Canonical. Try <a href="search-unsupported:">the %(amount)d items that match</a> in software not maintained by Canonical. end with a full-stop, while these don't: Try <a href="search-unsupported:">the %(amount)d item that matches</a> in software not maintained by Canonical Try <a href="search-unsupported:">the %(amount)d items that match</a> in software not maintained by Canonical and they are basically the same. Having them more consistent, means that there will be only one entry to translate for us instead of two. The same almost applies here too, with these: Try <a href="search-parent/">the item in %(category)s</a> that matches Try <a href="search-parent/">the %(n)d items in %(category)s</a> that match And these: Try <a href="search-parent:">the item in %(category)s</a> that matches. Try <a href="search-parent:">the %(n)d items in %(category)s</a> that match. The difference is in the full-stop at the end of the sentence, and in this case the use of / instead of : in the href field. Don't know if that is a GTK2/3 difference for hrefs.
