How to translate the output of format_plural which returns a new translatable string every time the count increased.

I put the translation with @count but it returns an array like @count[NUMBER] the NUMBER increased and for every NUMBER we have a string that need translation.

The translation work if I put @count[NUMBER] and didn't work for NUMBER-1 nor NUMBER+1

How to translate all strings with one translation?

The code comes from download_count module

And here is the piece of code

if (isset($file->downloads) && $file->downloads > 0) {
$output .=     format_plural($file->downloads, 'Downloaded 1 time',     'Downloaded @count times');

}

Finally I need to translate plural strings form the translation interface drupal provides and fix the raised number of strings

I have .po files and had changed the plural-forms as that comment then import the file but nothing changed so I need help to fix it.

Thanks in advance

  • It's not my code mean I need to translate the output of the function through drupal translation interface Sep 17, 2013 at 7:02
  • As for "which returns a new translatable string every time the count increased," what is the string that you are trying to translate? If you are speaking of translating through the user interface, I am not sure what you mean by " it returns an array like @count[NUMBER] the NUMBER increased and for every NUMBER we have a string that need translation," since the user interface doesn't return an array.

  • Can't you just add 2 translations? One for "Downloaded 1 time" and one for "Downloaded @count times"? format_plural() calls t() internally so that would make most sense I think

  • I did but @count only works for the first time download mean the string is (downloaded 1 time).the second becomes (downloaded 2 time) --third (downloaded 3 time)Thus I have newly added strings needs translation I see that the plural forms isn't set correctlly Sep 17, 2013 at 11:30

Thanks all

I found the solution as that comment form-plural in po

Edited on of the po files after exporting the last state to keep translation.

Import the file using drush (uploading from the interface always fail)

Installed drush_lang module

Apply that patch langimp relative path in /home/$_USER/.drush/drush_language

Clear cache for drupal and drush (drush cache-clear drush)

use the commands that module provides and every thing will be fine
