William, I guess you set as incomplete for launchpad before the IRC discussion? Seems the consensus was to try to backport the newest gettext and make launchpad use it, Colin started poking at that it seemed?
** Changed in: launchpad Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756547 Title: LP refuses to import plural strings where e.g. msgstr[0] entries in PO file miss %d Status in Launchpad itself: New Status in Ubuntu Translations: In Progress Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Some strings of GNOME Shell are untranslated in the Czech translation on Ubuntu 18.04 although they are translated upstream and when I try to manually translate them on launchpad, I get this error: "number of format specifications in 'msgid_plural' and 'msgstr[0]' does not match". The bad strings are: %d minute ago %d minutes ago %d hour ago %d hours ago %d week ago %d weeks ago %d month ago %d months ago %d year ago %d years ago They seem to be correct, but they are not accepted for some reason.
