Nautilus tag for multiple copies of a file
Hello list, as I am sure that many of you know, there is a tag in nautilus that shows that a file is n-th copy of another file. For example, if you have a file named abc.file and copy it several times in the same folder, you'll get files with filenames like this: abc (copy).file, abc (second copy).file, abc (third copy).file, abc (4-th copy).file...and so on. I have a problem translating these tags in Macedonian, because unlike in English, the suffix for the 4th, 5th, nth... item is not the same (th) as the suffix of the 7th and the 8th. Here is what I'm trying to explain: In English In Macedonian 3-rd copy 3-та копија 4-th copy 4-та копија 5-th copy 5-та копија 6-th copy 6-та копија 7-th copy 7-ма копија (Notice that instead of -та, there is a -ма here...) 8-th copy 8-ма копија (...and here) 9-th copy 9-та копија So the problem is that in the nautilus .po file you can only translate -th as -та, but the tags for the 7th and 8th copies of a file are incorrect. Other languages, like Serbian may have this problem also(I'm not totally sure though). Any ideas how can I resolve this problem?

Hi Jovan, For Serbian, full stop after a number makes it ordinal[1] so we are using . instead all sufixes except 1st and 2nd (3. умножак, 5. умножак etc.) For first we have just умножак and we are translating 2nd copy as додатни умножак (~additional copy). Maybe you can do the same? Cheers, Goran [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_indicator ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Any ideas how can I resolve this problem? a few times i landed with such problems. i go by the question- can the user understand what we are trying to say even if incorrect grammatically? if they can then i write it so. tv -- BE HAPPY!
