This is frequently true, and the script takes care of that. E.g. it doesn't warn of such cases in German or French POs. However... > I see false alarms in wesnoth/ru.po. > [...] > po/wesnoth/ru.po:7014(#720): missing interpolations in msgstr[0]: $enemies For Russian, as mandated by its plural formula in PO header, there is no form which is used only for n == 1: msgstr[0] is used for all numbers ending in 1, except those ending in 11. So msgstr[0] too has to contain the number. Now, I suppose that to have a sentence "Вижу 1 врага!" instead of "Вижу врага!" would be stylistically bad in Russian. Actually, for Serbian we used the same plural formula as for Russian, and exactly due to this style deficiency, we switched to a 4-form formula, where msgstr[3] is added to be used only for n == 1. This 4-form formula is: nplurals=4; plural=n==1 ? 3 : n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2; If you'd like to make this switch for Russian too, it shouldn't be hard, as there are total of 17 plural messages in wesnoth.po, and none in other POs. -- Chusslove Illich (Часлав Илић)
