#19 Plural Forms in PO Files

[Michael Fritz]

Hi Peter,

the file format of .po files allows to store plural forms of
certain words.
I've inserted the following lines to test the ngettext
function of gnugettext:

msgid "%d program link file "
msgid_plural "%d program link files "
msgstr[0] "%d Programmverknüpfung "
msgstr[1] "%d Programmverknüpfungen "

However it seems that INITranslator cannot handle such
kind of text inside a .po file.

Perhaps you can check this and I wish it could be
implemented, too.

BTW POEdit can not handle them either ;-) But perhaps
your program will do in the future?

Thx,
Michael

True, currently the PO parser cannot handle plurals. And even
if it could, there's the problem how to display it in the UI...

I'll think about it, but make no promises.

I've investigated a solution but found it is too much
trouble implementing it. Unless a viable solution is
presented, I don't see this happening anytime soon. Sorry
