Turns out this is not only intended behaviour, but also useful for catching bugs. See here for the full explanation: https://phabricator.kde.org/D8409#158116 Yep, makes sense. |
Consider the following code: int numberOfImages = [1 or 2]; QString fileName = "someFile.jpg"; QString windowTitle = QString(i18ncp("@title:window", "Copy %2", "Copy %1 images", numberOfImages, fileName)) The singular case correctly displays "Copy someFile.jpg" However, the plural case, displays "Copy 2 images(I18N_EXCESS_ARGUMENTS_SUPPLIED)" In fact, there aren't excess arguments, it's just that both variables aren't used in each string. But besides the error message, the output is otherwise perfectly valid.
