Incorrect use of _n()

  • Hi,

    When I tried to contribute translations to this plugin, I found a string that will create problems.

    It seems to be coded with _n() as such:
    Singular: “Animation”; Plural: “AnimationEnd”

    _n() should only be used to allow grammatically correct translations of strings that contain a count of something.

    Example: There’s %d apple in the basket. // There are %d apples in the basket.

    Depending on the number, in some languages this kind of string will have more than 2 versions. And a few languages don’t change any words depending on the number, and they’ll provide only one single translation for a _n() pair.

    If you want more details, please ask here, or come to our channel “polyglots” in Slack and ask. We’re happy to help.

    This string isn’t in Redirection’s code. Possibly it is being picked up from one of the modules that it uses. If that’s the case there’s not much I can do other than wait for it to be fixed there.
