Hi Victor!

Its should be like this:

0 bytes,
1 byte,
2, 3, 4… bytes

How do I describe this in the string? Where can I find more
information about the string
format in use?

This should come from "StringForSize" which is translated at
https://i18n.haiku-os.org/pootle/pt/haiku/translate/kits/pt.catkeys#filter=all
(1st entry there).

It does look OK with: {0, plural, one{# byte} other{# bytes}}
As anything but "one" is translated with "bytes"...

But as Adrien wrote, you could try: {0, plural, zero{(# bytes)} one{(#
byte)} other{(# bytes)}}
Does the ICU backend play into this?


Another example on plural forms is at
