Hi Michael,
Thanks for writing.
This has the problem that not all languages treat singular and plural
the same way as English.
I see the problem, but what is the solution? Repeating every message
containing a number to have separate cases for so many integers seems
quite impractical. Cc-ing gnulib friends for their input ...
Another thing worth mentioning is that it is better to limit strings
to be translated to one number argument per sentence unit
A good point, thanks. I can see the advice being hard to follow in
practice, though, since "found %d files in %d directories" is such a
natural expression in English. Fortunately I don't think it comes up
*too* often.
Best regards,
Karl
