I see the problem you are having (to those who
don't know about ngettext: It's about changing the
translated text depending on a number, like singular
and plural cases), but I am unaware about the scope
of the code that needs to be changed for this.
Actually, we have enough problems with the gettext-
system as it is (see missing translations on some
systems), so I suggest not to touch this for a while.
Of course, if someone is competent enough to do
this: Please call :-)

This is now fixed with r2441.

Yes, there are more languages with the very same
problem. However, changing this would need a
new translation in all languages. To make things
worse, in 320 x 280, the screen does not fit in any
language. We will have to find a solution for this
at some point in the future; it might involve a
complete rewrite of this screen. I haven't made up
my mind about this yet.

In short: Won't fix now.

Your translation is now at 100%, congratulations
to you and all the other translators for your
great work, thank you!

Best regards,
