Why is the string up two lines not good enough? :D Or replace that one with this one? I don't know what types you need.

lol, will use the other one via the handy multipleFileUploadText() in LocalizedStrings.h :)

Thanks for reviewing!

It actually isn't good at all!

Pluralization doesn't work like "1 vs. any other number" in many languages, see <http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html>. Foundation has proper support for this.

I checked the Russian localization in shipping WebKit for macOS, and it actually uses the hack that translators apply when software lacks full localization support - it's translated to an equivalent of "Files: %d".

I was going to comment about this, but I don't think WebKit has a stringsdict yet? And didn't want to force bringing that up on Andy :)

Actually it does, Source/WebCore/en.lproj/Localizable.stringsdict. Since all localization is done through WebCore, that's the one to use.
