I think there's a mix of issues: 1) The server uses incorrect plural formula for Turkish whereas there needs to be only one plural form available (nplurals=1; plural=0;)
2) Units presented in the list above hijack plurals where they shouldn't, as they use special cases for N = 1, which won't work universally with all plural formulas. From what I see, Russian translations there are also broken. For example, the translation for the word "Yesterday", if Russian plural formula is applied, will also be used for N=21, 31, and so on (instead of "21 days ago", "31 days ago", ...). This is a common mistake when English is used as a source, since its plural formula incidentally makes people believe that there are always two cases: literally "one" (1) and "many" (n > 1). But this is not the case in many other languages, where "one" can be used for different values of N. So this has nothing to do with Turkish — it is an i18n issue that needs to be filed against Pootle. Special cases for N = 1 need to be exposed as separate units for translation to avoid any confusion and allow for proper natural translation of such special cases. --Igor Best regards, Igor Afanasyev On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 10:59 AM, Leandro Regueiro < leandro.regue...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2016-07-19 11:10 GMT+02:00 ßouЯock™ ღ <hitowerdi...@hotmail.com>: > > Hello Leandro, > > Hi > > > Of course I can tell.
