KDE has a special plural form syntax, when the number of plurals is not equal to 2 msgfmt -o /dev/null -c kde-ar.po returns errors which are correct. msgfmt -o /dev/null --statistics is sufficient to ensure the validity of KDE files. _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
