Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-12-22 20:14:48 UTC 
How do you handle plural forms like that in python? Can you provide a patch by any chance?
Comment 2 André Klapper 2010-12-30 00:10:35 UTC 
Jean-François: I hope it's covered in http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments ? If not, please contact gnome-i18n@ mailing list!
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-12-30 16:05:27 UTC 
Well not really, that page you just linked to talks about adding comments around translatable strings, but what I'm looking for is being able to have plural forms like the reported requested...

Besides, the example is in C, pitivi is in python :)
Comment 4 André Klapper 2010-12-30 16:41:25 UTC 
Argh, plurals. Sorry, should be this link:

Here's an attempt at fixing it. Don't know if I did it right, but the program still runs ;)

Also available in my "misc-fixes" branch as commit b46d7801cb0e06dad76d563b09b973736e5550b8
