I couldn't investigate it as much as I wanted to (had an important 
application deployment at work last night) and I am having problem with 
my backend but from talking with other members of the development team 
it looks like there is indeed a problem there.

Keep in mind that we only looked at the code, we did not run it...

%d is ok (kinda looks like somebody wanted to use printf like codes) 
since it gets remeapped to something else. However it looks like it 
might not correctly merge the seconds part and that it not also 
correctly handling the plurals (the strings are incorrectly extracted 
when the tr() call is done a certain way and it is unfortunatly called 
that way here)...

I'll see what I can do about making a patch for this but since we are in 
string freeze it probably won't be applied until we start working on 0.25...

Initial translation is definitely a lot of work but you'll see that once 
your translation is fully completed maintaining it will be a lot easier 
than the first time.

Have a nice day!
