Please reassign to michael@herger.net. Bugzilla wouldn't let me do it.

Comment 3 Michael Herger 2007-05-13 00:03:06 UTC

That's not an issue with the German translation but a global thing we have to change (the Hebrew team complained about the same): it's the result of concatenating strings together, which might work in some languages, but doesn't in others as we have to change eg. the ending of a word depending on where within a phrase it is etc.

There's nothing we can quickly change in 6.5.2. We'll have to come up with some proper solution which we can use in various places. And it must be communicated to the translators

As Michael says, not going to be fixed for 6.5.2.  Perhaps there could be a localized sentence into which these numbers could be placed.
