Description Christian Rose 2004-08-20 13:28:22 UTC 
#: shell/main.c:236
#, c-format
msgid ""
"You are about to open %i windows simultaneously. Do you want to open them in "
"a collection instead?"

This message probably needs ngettext.

Please note that there is currently a string freeze.
Comment 1 Jens Finke 2004-08-20 13:47:35 UTC 
This string will only occur if you open more than 10 images. I doubt that
ngettext is neccessary here, though I maybe wrong.
Comment 2 Danilo Segan 2004-08-20 14:46:56 UTC 
Jens, you're wrong. Some languages (Serbian, Russian, Slovenian, Polish, Czech,
Croatian, ...) require this to be marked with ngettext (I believe the sole
purpose for introducing ngettext was this requirement of Slavic languages, if
you check gettext.info manual).

For instance, in Serbian we'd have for "%i pencils" (here we have three
different forms, so it's suitable for example), depending on %i:
"1 olovka" and "31 olovka"
"3 olovke" and "33 olovke"
"7 olovki" and "17 olovki" and "37 olovki"

Of course, this cannot be solved prior string freeze getting relaxed (i.e. 2.10
stuff).

Fixed in cvs. Hope its correct now.
