Hi Nicolas,

I really appreciate Your effort and time spent to explain things.
I'm using Linguist 4.6 on MAC and still believe there are some issues 
with this tool.
I.e mythfronend.ts, module ExitPrompter:

Eng:

Do you want to go back and fix this(these) problem(s)?


Pl:

Czy chcesz wrócić i poprawić ten(te) błąd(y)?


Linguist warnings:
Translation does not end with the same punctuation as the source text.
Translation does not contain the necessary %n place marker.


Here I simply don't get where is problem...


or module PlaybackBox:

Eng:

%1 [%n item(s)]


Pl:

%1 [%n pozycja(i)]


Linguist warnings:

Translation does not refer to the same place markers as in the source text.
Translation does not contain the necessary %n place marker.


The same for:


Eng:
There is %n item(s) in the playlist. Actions affect all items in the 
playlist


Pl:

W tej liście odtwarzania jest %n pozycji. Akcja będzie dotyczyła 
wszystkich pozycji w liście


Warning:
Translation does not contain the necessary %n place marker.



Regarding translation completeness: indeed currently mythfrontend has 
only 60% of translations. Due lack of time to do all translations, I 
choose approach where I'm translating first strings which are seen most 
frequently. After dong this I translated quite frequently seen ones. 
Currently I reach place where I practically don't see Eng strings except 
MythTV setup. As setup will be rewritten - I decided to concentrate on 
other things, wait for new setup and complete all translations at that 
stage. Currently my professional/personal time not allows me to finish 
mythfrontend translations in 100% - so pls commit my original patches to 
codebase.


Thx for Your help
