Hey guys.

I noticed (the hard way…) that translating numbers is a bit off. The expectation was „enforced” by transifex’s one/few/other for cases that contain numbers to behave in a certain way. At least in romanian, we have this rules:

- for one item is obvious;
- for up to 20 items, it’s also ok (e.g.: 19 items);
- over 20 items it’s an extra particle (e.g. 21 _of_ items ).

Anyhow, I marched on the idea that this was implemented and updated quite a few strings to act accordingly. After the update? Surprise! Only „one” and „other” cases are used, leaving me with awkward translations 🙂

This can be changed? Or can transifex be configured to not show the redundant one? (because you cannot save a translation that doesn’t have all three translation)
