Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2009-09-30 11:54:04 UTC
JavaScript message don't support PLURAL: it's not technically possible yet. The main cause is that to expand {{PLURAL:$1|foo|bar}} correctly, $1 must be known; constant expressions like {{ns:6}} or {{SITENAME}} and dynamic expressions that don't depend on $1 like {{PLURAL:5|$1 foo|$1 bar}} do work (yes, the latter is crazy and mostly useless). This is a known issue, and there has been some debate about how to implement at least PLURAL and possibly GENDER (most people seem to agree that having rare constructs such as {{ns:$1}} or {{#ifeq:$1|foo|bar}} not work is not that big a deal: it's JS, so /some/ restrictions should be expected); if you wish to formalize this at Bugzilla, feel free to open a generic bug.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2012-12-15 11:26:52 UTC
This report is regarding the Babaco release of the Usability Initiative, which has been discontinued long ago. Closing as WONTFIX to get rid of deprecated LATER resolution.
Mentioned string does not exist in Git's "core" or "extensions/*" code either anymore, only in UsabilityInitiative which is in old SVN.
