[translation] bug #132

[londumas]

In #132 string, when translating in French "1 minute" by "1 minute" and "%1 minutes" by "%1 minutes" the following error pops up : "a format specification for argument 1 doesn't exist in 'msgstr[0]'"

There must be a problem because I think the French translation is right.

Thank you for your bug report, where do you see that error? What are you doing exactly?

[londumas (helion331990)]

I am sorry @seb128 but I don't see how I can be more clear. The error is in my first post. I can't translate these two strings because of this issue. Maybe it is not an issue and then you can explain to me what I am doing wrong.

This happens when one tries to translate http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~system-settings-touch/ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/view/head:/plugins/security-privacy/PageComponent.qml#L66 using Launchpad/Rosetta.

In .po file the strings are presented as

#: ../plugins/security-privacy/PageComponent.qml:65
#: ../plugins/security-privacy/PhoneLocking.qml:42
#, qt-format
msgid "1 minute"
msgid_plural "%1 minutes"
msgstr[0] ""
msgstr[1] ""

Maybe providing the singular form, msgid, as "%1 minute" would work.

Please see

I can confirm the problem when I try to translate it also for Brazilian Portuguese.
