Definitely not a problem, we're all translators here, you know. :-)

Thank you for pointing this out, Andre. Having 2 plural forms in Czech, that
string doesn't allow us to properly localize it, obviously.

Maybe using "I18N" and "string" keywords can also be suggested?

to be a sort of international language back in Medieval times, but
nowadays... well... it's no more. ;-)
