plural form in string "Pages"
Last modified: 2013-09-30 09:19:35 UTC
Please can you create plural form for this string? #: ../src/tracker-needle/tracker-view.vala:435 msgid "Pages"
Please link to proper documentation what "plural form" means, like https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals

(In reply to comment #1) > Please link to proper documentation what "plural form" means, like > https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals Thanks. I can use the plural APIs, but in reality, in that area of code, we just don't know at that time. This is what I could do: ngettext ("Page", "Pages", 0), 0); Suggestions?
Hi, can you please elaborate or post screenshot? Can it be something like Page count? Thanks

I actually just fixed this so it works properly in master: commit cf1275824a152cd6319cdaaad35fe3585c06322a Author: Martyn Russell <martyn@lanedo.com> Date: Mon Sep 30 10:16:51 2013 +0100 tracker-needle: Fix "Page" vs "Pages" in document lists Fixes (in part): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707499
