Patch to use ngettext in Galeon (1.23 KB, patch)

Description Danilo Segan 2003-10-04 22:57:44 UTC 
(Following paragraphs copied from bug 116236 verbatim)
As mentioned in
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals,
the common way of handling plurals is broken for many locales. A way to
solve this is by using ngettext instead, as mentioned in that document.

A simple code example of code using ngettext:

  g_printf (ngettext ("Found %d file.", "Found %d files.", nbr_of_files),
nbr_of_files);

These are the relevant messages.

#: mozilla/CookiePromptService.cpp:75
#, c-format
msgid ""
"The site %s wants to set another cookie. You already have %d cookies from "
"this site."

#: src/galeon-window.c:2395
#, c-format
msgid ""
"You have requested to show %d bookmarked sites in different windows or tabs. "
"Are you sure?"

For a more general discussion about this inside GNOME, see bug 116236.
Comment 3 Christian Rose 2003-10-05 11:52:36 UTC 
Hmm, there's possibly a missing "a" in this sentence:

+ ngettext("You have requested to show %d bookmarked site in different "
+          "window or tab. Are you sure?",

Should probably be "... in a different window or tab"

Fixed in CVS.
