&gt; The new plural form will require some string modifications in addition to \
the<br> &gt; header.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The current formula is as follows:<br>
&gt; [1 - 1] %d house<br>
&gt; [2 - !1] %d houses<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The new formula is a bit more complex:<br>
&gt; [1 - 1] %d house<br>
&gt; [2 - 2] %d/two houses<br>
&gt; [3 - X%10 == 0 when X is larger than 10] %d house<br>
&gt; [4 - !1/!2] %d houses (matches the second form in the current formula)<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; So one option would be just breaking all the plural strings, the second \
would<br> &gt; be copying the 2nd form to the 3rd and 4th (won&#39;t break the string \
but I&#39;ll<br> &gt; need to fix it manually).<br>
&gt; I can try and think of a way to handle this completely automatically but I<br>
&gt; don&#39;t think it&#39;s worth the trouble.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; So merely changing the form is not enough.<br>
<br>
I think it was not mentioned, but would it make sense to change the definition<br>
on the trunk_kf6 branch only, in order to avoid breakages with the Qt5/KF5<br>
applications?<br>
<br>
Ciao<br>
