Bug ID: 33837
Summary: Hard-coded plural in readelf.c
Product: binutils
Version: 2.46
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
Target Milestone: ---
In readelf.c at line 21592, there is a hard coded plural:
21592 if (entries == 1)
21593 printf (_("\nGlobal Offset Table '%s' contains 1 entry:\n"),
21594 name);
21595 else
21596 printf (_("\nGlobal Offset Table '%s' contains %" PRIu64
21597 " entries:\n"), name, entries);
It assumes 1 is singular and everything else is plural. This is valid for
English but not for other languages. That construct can't be translated
accurately.
