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".
I have introduced a translation item for this word.
