Description Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2013-01-23 06:34:43 UTC 
In “planlibs.po”, you cna find the following translatable string:

    %1, %2 hours

I think it would be nice being able to be able to translate it in plural form:

    %1, %2 hour
    %1, %2 hours

Reproducible: Always

%2 is not given as an integer, but as a floating point number. So special numbers like 0, 1 etc. are still printed as 0.0, 0.1, etc. So I would think that hours in any case makes sense, or?
Comment 2 Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2013-04-17 06:14:58 UTC 
It makes sense in Galician and Spanish at least, where anything != 1 is considered plural (not sure how other languages behave about this). For example: 2 horas, 1 hora, 0.5 horas, 0.1 horas, 0 horas.
Comment 3 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2013-11-24 22:34:39 UTC 
Hi. Finally picked up again:
What about 1.0? Would that be 1.0 hora or 1.0 horas? The latter, no?

I was to do as proposed and use i18ncp, but when asking for how to use it correctly, I was instead hinted that in this case the current code is just fine, as it uses KLocale::formatNumber(double v) to create the string for the hours, so would also print 1.0000 not as 1, but as floating point 1.000 or 1,00 or whatever. At least if noone has set decimalPlaces to 0 in their locale. Are there people who would do that?

See for the discussion http://lists.kde.org/?t=138532530500001&r=1&w=2

So, what do you think, can we close this bug as INVALID?
