Hi guys,

Been a while and I just noticed to my shock my language had dropped below 50%. One thing I noticed is that there seem to be a lot more phrase generation strings such as {0} objects selected.

That works for English where you have one form of a noun for 1 and another form for anything more than one, including 0. But a lot of languages are more complex than that (apologies if I'm asking something that's already been sorted but I searched for plural rules and couldn't find any).

Compare the ruleset Mozilla (the folk who do Firefox) have: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_and_Plurals

Is there anything comparable on GenoPro (yet)? I just want to ask before I re-start translation.

Cheers

Do, or do not. There is no try.

Having read your latest post, I had an attempt at this using the Phrase Editor. The Else {!} applies to the immediately preceding conditional, so theretically to get the result you want you need to nest the clauses and should be able to use

Tha [{?0=1}{0} taigh][{!}[{?0=2}{0} thaigh][{!}[{?0=3}{0} taighean][{!}{0} taighaen]]]

But whilst this appears to work in the GenoPro Phrase Editor, when actually applied in a localization then the phrase template is not converted correctly as you have already discovered.

This seems therefore to be a real bug in GenoPro and perhaps is more easily fixed than the 'limitation' your refer too.

Perhaps Dan or JC could comment on this.
