We already have way too many translatable strings (2111 as of today) and using ngettext all over the place would add a lot more of these strings, code complexity and new bugs. The majority of users are anyway using a frontend to gpg and thus I believe it is better to properly translate those GUIs. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
