Peter, if these are displayed as fractions like 0.123 would you still need plural forms for those strings?
sorry, no plural forms needed
if number is 0.xxx no plural forms needed but if first digit is >0 we have diferent form Traslation comment needed
Ok, hopefully a project developer can confirm the expected range for the values. It sounds as if two different gettext calls with the same text should be done with msgctxt to distinguish between values smaller than 1 and values greater or equal to one.
This problem is still valid. Ping.
This was recently fixed in git as part of bug 670840.
