Hello,

I like your awesome module. Can you please explain, how to correctly set the module to work with languages that use plural formats?

I tried to do the following (in Czech language, that uses different plural formats for 1 "items", 2-4 "items" and >5 "items"):

1. Keep the texts on admin/settings/jstimer intact and tried to translate phrases like "@count days" using Drupal translate interface. Timer shows phrases like "@count[2] days" (exactly as you see it). Searching for "@count[2] days" in Drupal translate interface finds nothing, therefore I cannot translate it (and obviously @count[2] does not show real number of days, so translation would not probably work anyway).

2. Translate the texts on admin/settings/jstimer and manually edit generated timer.js in the files/jstimer folder, adding lines for @count[2] cases. But it does nothing (maybe I am doing something wrong).

Can you help please? Maybe I am only missing something obvious...

Thank you!

I'm not sure how javascript translation works on javascript files that are built dynamically.

I don't think http://localize.drupal.org/translate/projects/jstimer has the strings from the js file.

The translation strings should be like:

1 day
@count days

I've added them to the module so they should show up on localize.drupal.org

Hopefully fixed in dev.
