1423169 - [ko] Incorrect number of plural forms

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: ko / Korean, enhancement)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Korean doesn't have any plural form, according to CLDR
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/dev/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html#ko

Likewise, Pontoon and Firefox are set to only use one form.

English has 2 plural forms. In Firefox, a string with plurals has those two forms separated by a semicolon. For example

https://transvision.mozfr.org/?recherche=downloadMessage.deleteAll&repo=gecko_strings&sourcelocale=en-US&locale=ko&search_type=strings_entities

Delete this download?;Delete #1 downloads? 

Is translated in Korean as

이 다운로드를 삭제합니다?;#1개의 다운로드를 삭제합니다?

While it should only be one form

#1개의 다운로드를 삭제합니다?

Right now, the browser knows that Korean only uses one form, so it's going to pick the first (for any number). As a consequence, users will never see the number.

In other cases you only need to remove one of the two forms, since they are already identical

List of issues:
- addonsInstalled has 2 plural forms (requested: 1)

This one is a poor string, since it's a fake plural form (bug 658191). Firefox will always pick the first one, since you don't have plural forms.

- detailsPane.itemsCountLabel has 2 plural forms (requested: 1)
- downloadMessage.deleteAll has 2 plural forms (requested: 1)

I fixed all strings mentioned. I also reviewed other plural forms and added a few modifications to make clearer.
