A bug has been raised on KAlarm (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245575) about \
bad i18n strings. They are supposed to cope with two separate plural forms, but \
evidently don't work properly. The idea is to provide the string

"in %1 hours %2 minutes' time"

with each of the hours and minutes values providing plural forms. The actual strings \
currently are:

i18ncp("@info", "in 1 hour 1 minute's time", "in %1 hours 1 minute's time", mins/60);
i18ncp("@info", "in 1 hour %2 minutes' time", "in %1 hours %2 minutes' time", \
mins/60, mins%60);

Is there a good way of coding this?
