AssertionError: More than 6 plural forms were submitted

[Ahmed Shams]

the translation on:
https://translations.launchpad.net/wubi/trunk/+pots/wubi/ar/5/+translate
it has 5 fields for new translation and keeps giving error: (Error ID: OOPS-1853D2494)
I think it might be a problem with the pot file, thanks

Moving to Launchpad, as it seems it has to do with an OOPS, nothing we can fix in Ubuntu.

This doesn't sound like a problem with the pot file. Note that this is happening in Arabic translation: Arabic uses all 6 forms (and in fact that is the reason why we support a maximum of exactly 6 forms). Note that there are 6 input fields, not 5, though the layout makes it a bit hard to see.

What's happening is that the check for this is completely broken. It fails if you submit exactly 6 plural forms.

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen (jtv)]

To explain: the check does something like…

for pluralform in xrange(6):
    # …
    if pluralform not in translations_submitted_in_form:
        break
    # …
else:
    raise AssertionError("More than 6 plural forms were submitted!")

That goes wrong if you submit exactly 6 plural forms. The loop then never hits a plural-form number that didn't have a translation submitted, and drops into the "else" part.
