Comment (by gunchleoc):
I think we should stick to plural forms for now. We could then analyze
which contexts we have and have a look whether it is worth the
effort/possible giving them to the translators as whole strings to
translate.
I can just add another problem to the mix:
Provided that the case/gender has been catered for, "Delete the seleted X"
for a singular X in my language can still be:
Sguab às '''an''' X a thagh thu
Sguab às '''a' '''X a thagh thu
Sguab às '''am''' X a thagh thu
Sguab às '''an t-'''X a thagh thu
Which form to pick depends on both the gender of the noun and on which
sound the noun starts with... a bit like "'''an''' apple" and "'''a'''
pear" in English.
