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

Hi,

For Polish the strings mentioning city size are not problematic and do not
have to be pluralized. The strings like "Can add on %d population" are
already pluralized where necessary in S2_4, S2_5 and TRUNK. In other cases
I managed to get around the problem.
