When translating linuxdcpp, take care to provide translations for all
the plural forms. If you don't provide them, msgfmt may fail for your
translation and as a result the .mo file may not make its way into the
build. Currently, the Romanian translation is failing due to this exact
problem:

po/ro.po:7: nplurals = 3...
po/ro.po:1366: ...but some messages have only 2 plural forms
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error


The ro.po file at that line looks like:

#: linux/transfers.cc:563
#, boost-format
msgid "%1% of %2% User"
msgid_plural "%1% of %2% Users"
msgstr[0] "%1% din %2% utilizator"
msgstr[1] "%1% din %2% utilizatori"

Since nplurals=3, there needs to be a msgstr[2] added to cover the
missing plural form. There are probably other strings like this that
also need to be changed.

Let me know if you have any questions.
