[City] "%s grows to size %d." pluralisation

I've noticed that we've got a number of strings referring to city population as "size %d" which don't have pluralisation marking, for instance the subject, and " (Cities below size %d will not celebrate.)" "%s needs %s (being built) to grow beyond size %d." Is it worth fixing this? -- is it making translation clumsy in some languages? In some of these cases there are two numbers mentioned in one string: /* TRANS: Plural in "%d population", not "size %d". */ "* Can add on %d population to cities of no more than size %d.\n" Since these are already plural in population (modulo bug #21528), the string would have to be split into two somehow to pluralise "size %d" -- maybe "* %s to cities of no more than size %d.\n" where the first %s is "Can add on %d population" -- but provided the strings are only used once, the exact boundary doesn't matter, as translators can move it according to the required agreement rules of their language, hopefully. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-i18n mailing list Freeciv-i18n-8nu/[email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-i18n
