So here we are again, with the GNOME 2.4 release behind us and GNOME 2.5
ahead. Since everyone has agreed in the past that we want to use
ngettext at some point, and that basically everyone has agreed that
GNOME 2.5 would be the right time for that, I thought I'd remind people
about the issue.

Many bug reports about unresolved ngettext issues in the GNOME desktop
and developer platform are linked from the main tracking bug report
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116236 but for your
convinience I'm also listing them here:

There's possibly also more instances where ngettext might be needed but
that haven't been reported yet. But this list should be a start.
