Description
../plugins/utilsplugin/src/UtilsPlugin/SimplifyWayAction.java:87
Text for sg: The selection contains {0} way. Are you sure you want to simplify them all?
Text for pl: The selection contains {0} ways. Are you sure you want to simplify them all?
While the second sentence (Are you sure you want to simplify them all?) is perfectly valid for the plural version of the string, it comes out quite odd for the singular. A better version would be Are you sure you want to simplify it?.
However, since the warning itself is only output if the number of selected ways exceed ten, I presume that the use of trn here is only relevant if there are any languages that in fact have varying formats on individual numbers exceeding 10. This is not the case for Swedish (which I am translating), nor any other language I have heard of, but better safe than sorry. So the translation of this string into Swedish will never, ever be used... Still languages do strange things with numerus, clearly justifying the use of trn here.
Better safe than sorry. Fixed in SVN.
