Dear Aurimas, thanks for pointing this out. Yes, those split sentences are a big problem, and not only there. In general, we shouldn't have created such sentences in the first place which are split over several independent user interface elements. In this case, for your language it might be solved by having the second text field changing depending on the number, but there might be other languages around where even the first text field must change depending on the number.
If we assume only the second text field needs to be changed, it is still quite a non-trivial task that is needed here to fix this: We would have to insert some programming code (a callback for on_changed of the spin button) that dynamically changes the text of the second text field according to a ngettext() output. Instead, those cases should be re-worded so that there is one text field as the title of the spin button, and that's it, but not a split sentence. However, I don't know what would be a good wording for this case... Best Regards, Christian Am Sonntag, 23.
