Strings of the type:
%d Pages
%d of %d Pages
%d Entries
%d Total Results
and similar should rather be written using the ngettext
method. This removes the hassle of figuring out whether to use singular or plural.
Strings of the type:
Unable to Import Library
Fields
Constraints
and similar strings containing a space should be constructed using wildcards like %s
(Unable to Import Library %s
). Many languages have a different word order than English. In addition, this last two strings should be written again using ngettext
.
The error message in the src/Partials/TreeBuilder.vala
file on line 132
should be constructed in the same way.
Thank you in advance.
