Plural forms in translations



Hi all,

I noticed today that several translations (especially Marathi, Bengali,
Hindi, Indonesian and others) have problems because of the plural form. 
See e.g. http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/mr/gnome-2-22

Please, do not commit translations into GNOME SVN without checking first
that they pass 'msgfmt' check command:

msgfmt -vvc -o /dev/null mr.po

When there is a plural string, like this:

msgid "There is a tab with errors"
msgid_plural "There are %d tabs with errors"

You have to add the %d format string in your translation (if it is
present in the original string). At runtime, %d will be replaced by a
real number.

Please, correct the files as soon as possible.

Claude
