Untranslatable messages

[Göran Uddeborg]

I'm working on the translation of bison 1.30a.

In src/reduce.c there are a number of instances where you assume "s"
is a universal plural ending:

      fprintf (stderr, _("%d useless nonterminal%s"),
               nuseless_nonterminals,
               (nuseless_nonterminals == 1 ? "" : "s"));

      fprintf (stderr, _("%d useless rule%s"),
               nuseless_productions, (nuseless_productions == 1 ? "" : "s"));

    fprintf (stderr, _("reduced %s defines %d terminal%s, %d nonterminal%s\
, and %d production%s.\n"),
             infile,
             ntokens,
             (ntokens == 1 ? "" : "s"),
             nvars,
             (nvars == 1 ? "" : "s"),
             nrules,
             (nrules == 1 ? "" : "s"));

Unfortunately, this won't work for very many languages.

To do this correctly, may I suggest you have a look at the function
ngettext().

If you don't want to use that for some reason, please at least split
it up in two messages and an if-statement.  Assuming only one is the
only special case is still not universally true, but it is at least
better than also assuming "s" is the plural ending.
