Incorect user cache count shown in log (language specific)

[bubi-luka]

When I read log of a cache, I found a user claiming his 100 cache, but his count show "one cache". Should it be "one hundred and one cache" and the string did not fit on my screen, or is it a bug?

Can you give us the geocode and the username?

[bubi-luka]

The cache code is GC4A5Z1 and user name of person in question is Janko132. But this issue was found on another phone, so I can not send screenshot. On my phone it works as expected. But I remember I have seen this issue on my phone also, just don't know when (cache, user, situation).

[SammysHP]

Old version? Small screen? It works here as well, so closing.

Samsung galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4, last version c:geo. Will try to find more information about the situation.

What language was used on the phone when that error occured? That output depends on the locale, and it might be an error in one of the translations. For instance the polish translation looks suspicious to me "Liczba skrzynek: %1$d". There should not be a colon, as the intended meaning of that string is "many caches", where "many" is represented by "%1$d".

[bubi-luka]

The phone language is Slovenian (ask @mucek4), the c:geo's language is English.

Luka do you still have log with 101 caches in cache? I suspect bug on phone that takes Slovenian rules and English text as translation does not exists.

[bubi-luka]

Unfortunately no. I there a way to set test conditions for this case (load fake logs/users)? Is there a way to find a user with 100 or 101 finds to test it?

[mucek4]

I found a friend who has 99 founds. She will log 2 of my caches to have 101 so we can test.

[bubi-luka]

Nice! I can offer to test on two of my phones (Galaxy Ace2, original firmware, GB 2.3.6; Galaxy Spica, rooted GB 2.3.6) and my brother's phone (Galaxy S2, JB 4.0.4).

I get 101 Caches.

[mucek4]

Ok. The above screen shot was made with HTC ONE X (rooted ARHD 20.1) System language and locale setting: English (Slovenia)
This screenshot is made by same phone, system l&l setting Slovenščina (Slovenija):

It is what I was afraid. For some reason we use Slovenian rules to build English text.
one: number mod 100 = 1
two: number mod 100 = 2
few: number mod 100 = 3 or 4
other: everything else.

Please check 2 things: Have you force-closed c:geo after switching the locale? Are you sure the option "Use English" is not set?

And maybe you want to run c:geo in a debugger and have a look what value your current locale has, e.g. "si-SI" or "si" or something different?

What about this unverified issue.
Is there still a problem with the plural-strings or was it solved ?

[mucek4]

Sorry didn't investigate any further as user has more finds now :(

[bubi-luka]

I too can not find any cache on my lists with the required count of finds. But @mucek4 has posted screenshots that verify the issue and if nobody produced a fix than the problem is still there.

I've been reading the related Android Plurals implementation and discussion up and down. It seems that this is fixed only by setting minSdkVersion to 11 or higher. We surely don't want to do that (as it would make run cgeo on Android 3.0+ only).

An alternative might be to switch to a third party plurals implementation: https://code.google.com/p/android-i18n-plurals/ A nice side effect of this one would be the support of special zero strings even for languages with no zero rules (e.g. "No caches" instead of "0 caches").

minSdkVersion to 11 or higher. We surely don't want to do that (as it would make run cgeo on Android 3.0+ only).

We have done this meanwhile :)
