... and I do not know, how difficult this can eventually turn out to
be (if at all practically possible) The biggest problem for now I see
in the Calendar, where to me it looks like every second line requires
it. We can leave it as is, with only singular and plural available,
but there's a limit to how much one can fudge, Eventually there'll
still be (again and again) messages, sounding like "Me Tarzan, you
Jane" and we would be ready to sweat it out, if it is possible.

If the language rule distinction could be assigned on a product-by-
product basis, it would help. Then one could start the drive with
Calendar and then move to other pastures. If not ... then all the
current products and localizations would need an overhaul and this is
a rather dangerous proposition.

Has anybody tried and pulled it through? What else is there to think
of? Axel?

Thanks everybody in advance for your experience- opinions are welcome
too of course, but it's not the lack of opinions that forces me to
ask.

Regards

Vito

I think that's the kind of situation Mercurial is designed to deal with.
;) In theory, you could create your own branch/head/whatever, and
convert your files to the plural rule #10 there, while at the same time
having a working branch/head/whatever using the old plural rule. I think
it would even be possible to have different products using different
rules in that case, but it would really be messy (and kinda miserable
for localizers of cross-app translations).

Hope this helps,
Rimas

FWIW, I would suggest to not do that on a stable branch, as all
extension localizations would need to be sync'ed at the same time, I guess
