Declinations

stanestane says:

I have started translating your interface to Serbian but run into a problem. Serbian (like many other languages) makes a havy use of declinations.

For example English phrase "In {NUM} months." would translate diferently depending on {NUM} value.

Za 1 mesec
Za 2 meseca
Za 5 meseci

How do I handle this? Not handling this thing would make the translation seam ackward and artificial.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll be able to handle this if you can let us know the variations.

You'll be asked to translate both:

"In 1 month"

and

"In {NUM} months"

Could you please translate it in the translation system as though {NUM} = 2? Then, could you email us at [old address removed] with the variations for when {NUM} is more than 2? Thanks for your help!

Yay I'll do something like that.. but it's more complicated than that and as far as I know this problem is common for all slavic languages so it's a big chunk o' nations out there. Perhaps you should consult someone with more linguistic knowledge.
