[Gtranslator-devel] Re: Impressions on gtranslator-1.0

[Ross Golder <ross golder org>]

Thanks for the feedback. I've started a bugzilla record to track the
progress of these issues, and copied this to the mailing list, as a
private e-mail to the authors will likely get lost in our workloads!

I think I've got my head around plural forms, but none of the PO files
I've worked with so far have them, so I currently have limited
experience of these issues. I will look into them in due course though.

Cheers,
