Following arrangements on inkscape-translate I've prepared a small patch to improve some translations and add context in a few cases. Could someone please commit the patch available here:
http://www.mm.waw.pl/~mfloryan/various_strings.diff.gz
My SVN source still build with this patch so hopefuly it should be OK.

Well, I promised to review and commit, so no worries :) Already done :)
For some reason Normal vs. Normal separation doesn't work for me anyway (wrong message is still displayed), though contextual separation is used in PO file. Could you please try to see if it works for you in your locale and with your PO file?
(Yes, I placed new inkscape.mo to /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/ and removed inkscape.mo from langpack directory)

Oh, sorry. I didn't realise you would do that, cool.

Yes. I will try this out and let you know.

Please note that: if (num >= 2) { gtk_widget_set_sensitive (be, true); - gtk_button_set_label (GTK_BUTTON(be), g_strdup_printf (_("Batch export %d selected objects"), num)); + gtk_button_set_label (GTK_BUTTON(be), g_strdup_printf (ngettext("Batch export %d selected object", "Batch export %d selected objects",num), num));
here num is never less than 2. So why this patch?
Also: + ngettext("Area filled, path with <b>%d</b> node created and unioned with selection."
is really possible to (union-)fill an area with a path consisting of only one node? (I'm not sure, so I'm asking)

Ciao, Luca

Because in some languages (say Polish is a good example here) there will be a different form depending on the number, so the translation could be something like:
2 wybrane obiekty 5 wybranych obiektów
So while it does not matter for English and the singular form would never be used the ngettext functionality is still valuable.
Also:
- ngettext("Area filled, path with <b>%d</b> node created and unioned with selection."

I have no idea myself but the previous remark still holds valid.

If number of plural forms was always equal to 2, we would never need ngettext. Luckily variety of langauges helps developers keep their mind trained, thus not degrading back to apes :)
Just a small illustration for "%d node(s)" in Russian (transliterated). Watch how word endings change:
1 uzel 2 uzla 7 uzlov
AND
21 uzel 31 uzel 121 uzel 12131331 uzel
etc.
See, you still need that plural from whenever you have a number that ends with 1.
Fun, isn't it? :-)

Even more so when you get to use it every day :-)
