While Qt handles certain phrases like:
"Use %n upper case character(s)"
adequately, if phrased slightly differently:
"At least %n upper case character(s) is required"
breaks because the translation is:
1. "At least 1 upper case character is required"
2a. "At least 2 upper case characters is required" <- grammatical error. Should be:
2b. "At least 2 upper case characters are required"
Is there a way to indicate that if plural, that 'are' shoud be used?
"Use %n upper case character(s) [is|are] required" - where the brackets specify [singular|plural]
Many thanks
