Description Abderrahim Kitouni 2014-09-30 09:51:54 UTC 
In gs-sources-dialog.c:

/* TRANSLATORS: this source has some apps and addons installed from it */
text = g_strdup_printf (ngettext ("%i application and %i add-ons installed",
				  "%i applications and %i add-ons installed",
				  cnt_apps),
			cnt_apps, cnt_addon);

There are two plural forms in this string, but the call only concerns the first one. Even in English we could have things like "2 applications and 1 add-ons installed", but in other languages it could be worse.

I don't know what's the best way to fix it, but splitting it in two may be a good start. (Especially since with 1 application and 1 add-on, "installed" would need to be plural in some languages)
