Yes it can, as long as there are plural form fields in Pootle for such string.

Hi @sledges
Sorry about that, havenât seen your initial reply from July 15th.
Went through all the plurals and added the 2nd plural form where required. I will go though most of the translations again, over the weekend, to make sure everything is in order and I will make any other required changes. Thanks !

Using â1stâ â2ndâ sounds a bit illiterate and awkward, and loses the conversational feeling (in english). I wouldnât recommend it unless the length is an issue.

Slovene language (si) is also using genders for day names, i.e. prvi ponedeljek, prva sreda âŠ

Hi all,
Some months ago I proposed a tiny modification to the French translation (see comments below):
https://together.jolla.com/question/216903/official-announcement-l10n-strings-for-321/
https://translate.sailfishos.org/fr/translate/#search=Caméra&sfields=source,target&unit=501947
Has it been taken into account ?
Cheers, Sam

Hello Sam, thank you for writing.
Presently, French translations do not have a dedicated coordinator, thus there are many suggestions (including yours) that need âgardeningâ. We would kindly welcome such help if someone stepped up to become one.
Many thanks!

Right, so that explains why my suggestions were not taken into account.
I am stepping up to become coordinator for French translation then 
Let me know what I need to do next.
Cheers,
Nico

Hello Nico,
Thank you for coming forth, you are the hero we needed. Iâve made you the coordinator in Pootle.
The duties are outlined in https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Translate_the_OS#Coordinators.
Please advise me if the style guide needs refreshing, especially the Articles section, as I noticed from the content of your suggestions.
Cheers!

@sledges working on it now, however I noticed that the person reported as accepting a suggestion is random, see pica below for a suggestion I just accepted, another username appears, not mine (ncartron):
Imagine how much time could be saved if translations were kept to a handful of languages? Who needs anything beyond English for their device anyway? Letting all other languages be voluntary community efforts would speed up the update process considerably for the rest of us.
Are you aware that most of the languages SFOS is localized in are community efforts already? Since available translations can ve pulled in from Pootle automatically, I highly doubt that fewer or more languages would change the update process (you mean development speed?) in any way. Do you know about how QT is handling localization of strings? Anything untranslated just shows up as English anyway.
Also - while technically true - itâs a bit arrogant to declare any other language than English to be unnecessary.

Itâs probably the username of the person who made the suggestion. Iâve noticed it as well, itâs a weird thing about Pootle.

As much as I do not agree to this post (see @rozgwi explanation) the more I do not understand why it should be flagged (who did it? for what reason?). This is just a personal opinion and nothing offending nor against any rules.
