I don't think that the problem is peculiar to Farsi. Maybe to NoPlural 
languages/setting, or else my understanding of NoPlural is not correct. I 
understand that for NoPlural I have to translate only one string, since the 
language only needs one. But if I do that I get an argument error.

The strange thing it passes the test only without the \n at the end of the 
first line, as given in my example:

#: kio/kio/defaultprogress.cpp:255 kio/kio/defaultprogress.cpp:269
_n: %1 / %n file\n
%1 / %n files
---
%1 / %n file
%1 / %n پرونده
