"%(count)d proprietary driver%(plural)s in use." is not translatable for some languages

[Koichi Akabe]

The translation template contains the following string:
  %(count)d proprietary driver%(plural)s in use.

Japanese doesn't distinguish plurals, so we should ignore "%(plural)s" on translation.
However, Rosetta doesn't accept the translation without this variable.

This is from:
 Located in ../softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:1343
The "driver%s" solution is fundamentally broken, needs proper plural support, see: https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals

Also there are some strings in that file that need to be marked for translation:

self.label_driver_action.set_label("Applying changes...")
description = "Using {} from {}".format(pkg.candidate.summary, pkg.shortname)
self.label_driver_action.set_label("You need to restart the computer to complete the driver changes.")

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Hendrik Schrieber (hennekn)]

This also affects German translations.

  * lp:~evfool/software-properties/lp1030970 :
    - Fixed the source code checkbox and the submit statistics
      checkbox labels to be left-aligned instead of centered.
  * lp:~evfool/software-properties/lp997371:
    - support enabling a component via "apt-add-repository componentname"
      (e.g. "apt-add-repository multiverse") LP: #997371

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * Reinstate pycurl to use for getting PPA information from Launchpad, since
    it can actually verify SSL certificates with python2. Also set
    LAUNCHPAD_PPA_CERT so that it's a valid path to the system CA certificates
    bundle to use for urllib and pycurl. (LP: #1036839)
    - CVE-2012-0955

  [ Gabor Kelemen ]
  * lp:~kelemeng/software-properties/bug1035544:
