Hello,

I am needing to translate the message "You have x unread messages." and "You have 1 unread message."

In the translation search it comes up in broken pieces which makes it difficult to translate.
1) You have %unread.
2) 1 unread message
3) @count unread messages

Can this please be looked into in order to improve the ability to translate the message?

The 1) above should read:

You have <a href="@messages">%unread</a>.

Yes, this is bad.

Try the attached patch, you should have two separate strings now. If that works, please set to RTBC. Thanks.

I see from the patch that there should now be two strings for translation:
You have <a href="@messages">@count unread messages</a>
You have <a href="@messages">1 unread message</a>.

After applying the patch I was not able to find the string for translation at first. I had to send a test message, then login as the test user to see "You have 3 unread messages" show upon login. Then I went back as admin and search and found the string above - nice! Is this just the way drupal works?

Thanks!
