Please *never* split up sentences in fragments like this! It is extremely
broken for translation. Use several full sentences instead. Please see
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#split-sentences.

Also, when you do this, please use ngettext. See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals.
Comment 1 Gerardo Marin 2004-07-02 16:42:48 UTC 
This will have to wait since we are under string freeze
Comment 2 Christian Rose 2004-12-17 22:39:19 UTC 
Evolution has been branched long ago and string freeze no longer
applies to HEAD...
Comment 3 Christian Rose 2004-12-29 23:14:43 UTC 
Any news on this? Yuedong, any plans to correct this?
Comment 4 Sivaiah 2005-01-28 14:42:08 UTC 
fixed using ngettext and two full sentences
Comment 5 Christian Rose 2005-01-28 21:24:33 UTC 
Thanks for fixing this!
However, there's a typo:

"current addressbook folder have %d cards"

should probably be

"current addressbook folder has %d cards"
