[wp-polyglots] Re: Wordpress 2.5 pot file broken - still not working, I spoke too soon

[Sławomir Kozłowski]

OK,
To do list after download:
Solution:
You must specify correct string for Plural forms in poEdit Settings window.
For polish language there shoud be string like this:

nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20)
? 1 : 2;

You must put such string BEFORE you translate any word in PO file.

What does it mean?
In polish language we have different plural forms for phrases with numbers
1, 2 to 4, and 5 and above.
Try copy&paste this in poEdit here (english interface):
CATALOG -> SETTINGS -> "Project info" tab, "Plural forms"
you will see what I mean (interface will change in translation window).

Short TO.DO list:
1. open source PO file
2. define correct Plural forms string
3. define language, team and email address of team
4. translate string with "%s"
5. save the file, which automaticaly create MO file

Happy translating!

Best regards,
Sławek
