Hello all

Now the messages in plural are well handled in English. However, in many other languages like French, Italian and Spanish they are not right.

For example:

T_("Do you really want to delete the selected %s ?")
esES("\302\277Realmente quieres borrar las %s seleccionadas?")

It is wrong in Spanish, as the plural affect some words in the sentence, not just the %s. It could be solved doing this:

esES("\302\277Realmente quieres borrar la(s) %s seleccionada(s)?")

However it could be better by using different messages for singular and for plural.

What do you think about it?

Best regards
Iñaki
