Four themestrings in schedule-ui.xml are untranslatable (due to type=zero?)

[Kenni Lund <kenni@…>]

The following four themestrings in schedule-ui.xml are translatable in linguist, but the translations are not used:

"Normal recording priority" (spinbox name="priority" from="basewidespinbox")
"Start recording on time" (spinbox name="startoffset" from="basewidespinbox")
"End recording on time" (spinbox name="endoffset" from="basewidespinbox")
"No episode limit" (spinbox name="maxepisodes" from="basewidespinbox")

As far as I can tell it is all the strings which contains the <template type="zero"> tag, as strings in the same file without this tag or with type="negative" or type="positive" translates without any issues. Also Arclight doesn't use the zero-tag for the maxepisodes_label, and this tag is translated in Arclight (as the only one of the following themes).

I haven't been able to create a patch for this, as I haven't been able to find information about the consequence of removing or changing the tag.

This issue does not affect all languages. The Danish, the Norwegian and the Swedish translations are affected by this issue, but the French translation is not affected by this issue.

(In [25621]) Probable fix for strings not being translated with spinboxes in certain languages. Fixes #8177. Please re-open the ticket if this doesn't work.

Thanks for the try, but unfortunately it didn't help. I've just tested it with r25628 and the problem still exists.

Steps to replicate problem (in Terra theme):

1. Switch language to Danish and go to main menu.
2. Go to "Administrer optagelser" -> "Planlæg optagelser" -> "Programguide" -> Click on some program -> select "Optag kun denne udsendelse" -> "Planlægningsindstillinger".
3. The three strings "Normal recording priority", "Start recording on time" and "End recording on time" are all in English instead of in Danish.

The three strings are correctly translated in mythfrontend_da.qm in trunk.

(In [25635]) Fix translations of non-numerous strings used in a spinbox. We want to be able to handle both '0 recordings' and 'No recordings' alike, tr() when called with n won't translate the latter which I consider a bug in QT. The fix is just to check for %n in the string first and only use the plural form if it exists.

Thank you stuartm, i can confirm that it works with the fix in r25635 :)
