[fetchmail] [BUG] plural form needed for translations

2003-07-30 06:23:58

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.3
Severity: low


I have a problem with a string located at driver.c line 1263:


        report_build(stdout, GT_("%d %s (%d seen) for %s"),
              count, count > 1 ?  GT_("messages") :
                                  GT_("message"),
              count-new, buf);


In English the adjective "seen" is invariable, regardless of
the value of %d. However in many other languages, including
French, Spanish, Italian and Catalan (AFAIK) this is not true.
In this cases we would use the plural form of "seen" if %d
is different from 1, and the singular form otherwise. So, I
think this code snippet should be adapted to these situations
just as you've already done with the word "message".

Thanks.
