Hi Nicolas,

I have had a closer look. This might be a problem indeed. At the moment 
klocale will only remember the plural type for the main language.

So we would have to remember the plural type for all installed 
languages. (e.g. in an associative array that maps iso-codes to plural 
types) And when we look up a string and find out that it contains plural 
handling, we have a look at the language where we found the translation 
and use the plural handling of that language. That might mean that 
KCatalog should get a new member variable "QString : language".

OK, it starts getting a bit complicated. Is there anything else that we 
need to consider? At the moment I still think that it is worth the effort.

Kind regards,

Heiko Evermann
