Description Christian Rose 2005-01-28 21:45:06 UTC 
#: a11y/calendar/ea-day-view.c:147 a11y/calendar/ea-week-view.c:148
#, c-format
msgid ", %d event"

#: a11y/calendar/ea-day-view.c:147 a11y/calendar/ea-week-view.c:148
#, c-format
msgid ", %d events"

The comma at the beginning of the message looks suspicious. Please don't
concatenate translateable sentences
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#split-sentences).

In addition, it looks like the ngettext () call used here doesn't work...
