Hi, Nick Thank you for your reply. "%1 点差一刻" is same as "%1 点差 15 分" in Chinese. If the '%1' in msgid denotes 'n', can it be calculated to 'n-1' automatically when I put '%0' into msgstr? Maybe the best method to resolve this problem is to show it in digital format instead of in words, such as '02:45' instead of 'quarter to 3'.
