Description Danilo Segan 2003-10-04 22:36:25 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);



This is the relevant message.

#: libglimmerfile/dialogs/glimmer-dialog-replace.c:515
#, c-format
msgid "Found and replaced %d occurences."


This is relevant to both newgtksourceview and HEAD branches.
Comment 1 Danilo Segan 2005-03-28 13:11:23 UTC 
Has Glimmer been abandoned (I suppose it has, but if so, we may want to remove
it from translation status pages as well)?  

If it hasn't, then this bug is probably not "OBSOLETE", since this is still
present in:
 
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glimmer/libglimmerfile/dialogs/glimmer-dialog-replace.c?rev=1.4&view=markup
Comment 2 Jeroen Zwartepoorte 2005-03-29 10:35:23 UTC 
Glimmer has been abondened. Please remove it from the translation status page.
Comment 3 Danilo Segan 2005-03-29 10:38:32 UTC 
Thanks, removed.
Comment 4 Christian Rose 2005-03-29 10:51:28 UTC 
I've moved the "glimmer" module to the archive section of CVS now as well
("/cvs/archive"). Please let us know if you do not want that.
