Note that it isn't required to translate the template effectively. You may also create a translation
file for the original language of a template and use it just for pluralization by entering plurals
only.
To enable pluralization on a translation entry:
1. Double-click the respective entry on the Translations pane.
2. Check the Pluralization option.
3. Select the data field that holds the number.
Note
Pluralization cannot be based on a data field in a detail table.
4. Now there are two possibilities:
l Click OK. Proceed with the translation process after you've created all translation
entries and enabled pluralization as needed. For further instructions see
"Translating templates" on page926.
l Enter the singular and plural and click OK. The entries are stored in the template
itself.
OL Connect will automatically fall back to these entries when there is no translation
file (.po) that matches the "Locale" on page778. The singular is used when the
value of the data field is 1, and the plural is used in all other cases.
Note
In some languages, like Arabic and Polish, words have multiple plurals for use with
different numbers. Multiple plurals can only be entered in a translation tool. See
"Translating templates" on page926.
Exporting and importing translation files
In the process of the translation of a template, two types of translation files are involved:
Portable Object (.po) files and a Portable Object Template (.pot) file. These are standardized
file types following the gettext format.
