I see, but it seems this is a global problem which is worse. Maybe the
best is to contact GNU to change the plural form globally. This is bad.
However, this is just a mathematical expression which does not cause a
problem in strings I guess (at least in Turkish as we dont have 2 apples
for example, it is still 2 apple. Only plural items without having a number
are plural in Turkish), so better to ask someone who is more experienced
with translations.
