From RQ:

"# LOCALIZATION NOTE (more):
#   %S will be the number of email addresses minus two.  (So, we'll show
#   two, and say that there are "(n-2) more…"
more=+%S more…

Would it be possible to make this line support plural forms?

Also, the word "Free" in the table header for e.g. AOL, is not localizable.
Please make it such."

+free=Free

This probably lacks an L10n comment. Something like:
# LOCALIZATION NOTE (free):
# This will be shown instead of price in table heading for free email providers
free=Free

Make it sound better, if you can. :)


+#   #1 will be the number of email addresses minus two.  (So, we'll show
+#   two, and say that there are "(n-2) more…" - uses PluralForm, so the
+#   string before the semi-colon is singular, and the string after is
+#   for plural.
+more=+#1 more…;+#1 more…

The comment is a bit incorrect. Why not say something like:

# LOCALIZATION NOTE (more): Semi-colon list of plural forms.
# See: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_and_Plurals
# #1 is the number of additional email addresses available for registration.
# This line is shown when there are more than two suggested email
# addresses available
more=+#1 more…;+#1 more…

> The comment is a bit incorrect. Why not say something like:

Just in case, the incorrect part is in the fact that there can be more than two plural forms. The example comment I pasted you on IRC and used here is what is often used elsewhere in the source.

Thanks! It looks fine now. But Mark should review the JS part, cause I don't know whether or not it's correct.

Crap, I just realized that I forgot you should change the string ID when changing the string or it may not be noticed by localizers otherwise.

I suggest to rename 'more' to 'moreOptions' or something. Sorry for not mentioning it sooner... :(
RQ, will this work alright for you folks?

Feedback+, but please change the LOCALIZATION NOTE for moreOptions to reflect the string ID change.
