Hi,

Messages such as these:

• MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-metre
• MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-angstrom
• MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-mile

all have a problem: they only take the plural of the word itself, but the number is left out. For example, MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-mile is {{PLURAL:$1|mile|miles}}.

Usually in such messages the number itself is not only an argument, but also a part of the return value and for a good reason: in some languages one is treated differently from plural. For example, in Hebrew the number 1 comes after the noun and all the other numbers come before it.

These messages must be re-written as {{PLURAL:$1|$1 mile|$1 miles}}. In Hebrew it would be something like {{PLURAL:$1|mile $1|$1 miles}}.

Thanks.

Hello Amir, I have tried to address your problem in r96025. Now those messages have a leading $1 whichis the text (note that the other positional parameters were incremented)

Best regards
