Description Christian Rose 2003-10-10 14:59:17 UTC

#: src/configure/daemonPropDialog.py:470
#, python-format
msgid ""
"Cluster has %s members:\n"
"Disk Tiebreaker and Network Tiebreaker will not be used."

As mentioned in
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals,
this way of handling plurals is broken for many locales. A way to solve
this is by using ngettext instead as mentioned in that document.
A simple code example of code using ngettext:

  g_printf (ngettext ("Found %d file.", "Found %d files.", nbr_of_files),
nbr_of_files);

Something similar should work in Python 2.3 too.

Comment 1 Hardy Merrill 2003-10-14 19:44:59 UTC

I just researched ngettext in the Python documentation - ngettext is new in
Python 2.3, and Taroon (RHEL3) has Python 2.2.3.  So this change won't be
possible until the next RHEL release which contains at least Python 2.3.

Comment 2 Hardy Merrill 2003-10-14 20:10:49 UTC

Mistake - didn't mean to close it.
