To validate the po file run “msgfmt -o /dev/null -c pk.po”. Here are information about the plurals: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Plural-forms “Only one form: Some languages only require one single form. There is no distinction between the singular and plural form. An appropriate header entry would look like this: Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0; [...] Two forms, singular used for one only: This is the form used in most existing programs since it is what English is using. A header entry would look like this: Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1; [...] Two forms, singular used for zero and one: Exceptional case in the language family. The header entry would be: Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n>1; [...]” The plural forms have to be translated in the msgstr[1] strings of the po file. If your editor doesn't let you translate plural forms, you will have to use another editor for that purpose (mousepad, nano, …). > regaeds > Muhammad Ali makki > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best Regards, Mike and the Xfce-i18n team _______________________________________________ Xfce-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n
