Hi Michael, I see you're referring to this string: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/nautilus/+pots/nautilus/ca/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=seconds > Error in Translation: > 'msgstr[1]' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'.

Any thoughts? > Launchpad uses standard gettext to parse the strings, so you're getting this error because gettext does not interpret "%'d" as a valid C string. I've not seen this happening before, as Launchpad does not convert the imported strings, so it might be worth filing a bug to find out where the "%'d" comes from. To be clear, the fact that Launchpad Translations (*) is in maintenance mode simply means that no new features are added and that there are less developers to work on it, not that it is poorly maintained. It can and should still be used to translate Ubuntu as usual. Cheers, David. (*) it's not been named Rosetta for years, btw, in the same way the bug tracker is no longer named Malone. > Cheers > > Michael > > -- > *Akerbeltz <http://www.faclair.com/>* > Goireasan Gàidhlig air an lìon > Fòn: +44-141-946 4437 > Facs: +44-141-945 2701 > > *Tha Gàidhlig aig a' choimpiutair agad, siuthad, feuch e!* > Iomadh rud eadar prògraman oifis, brabhsairean, predictive texting, > geamannan is mòran a bharrachd.
