Re: geary string freeze and upcoming release

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hi all,

Another update to this - @afranke pointed[0] out Geary has incorrectly 
used ngettext() improperly in a few places, so that the singular and 
plural forms aren't grouped together in the POT files. This is known to 
occur in 6 places.

So hat's the best thing to do here? There's at least 8 languages that 
are basically fully translated, and a number of others may have these 
translated already, since the strings have been around for at least one 
release. Is it better to keep the existing forms intact and fix this 
after branching for the release, or should I land the fix now?

Cheers,
//Mike
