Description Marcel Telka 2008-10-17 18:37:19 UTC 
This string:

#: ../tools/vino-passwd.c:115
#, c-format
msgid ""
"ERROR: Maximum length of password is %d characters. Please, re-enter the "
"password.\n"

should use plural forms. It is not possible to correctly translate this string into languages where more than one plural form is used (for example Slovak language).

Thanks.

Here is description about plural forms for developers:

Jorge, your patch is an example of what do NOT do :)

Anyway, the patch is quite trivial and I will do it for 2.26. I don't want to bother i18n guys with a request for string freeze.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2008-10-21 19:27:03 UTC 
Jorge: Please read http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals to understand why the patch won't fix the issue at all. :)
