Yes, I know, dear Linhart.

But how can right Russian plurals ... be associated to the right numerals?

Zitat von C formula 'plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2' translated to pascal

---

Mod10:=aNumber mod 10;
Mod100:=aNumber mod 100;
...
if ((Mod10=1) and (Mod100<>11)) then
Result:=0 else
if (Mod10>=2) and (Mod10<=4) and ((Mod100<10) or (Mod100>=20)) then
Result:=1 else
Result:=2;

But maybe she was curious :) It's a bit like Mengenlehre in maths. You write a formula that explains a lot of what-if rules to the computer. For example, you can tell that computer that you want x if the number is 1, 2 or 3; that you want y if the number is 4-10 and that you want z if the number is anything else. So when the computer then runs into a number placeholder (such as %d) and this placeholder happens to be 7 (in my example) it checks the rules and finds that for the number 7, rule y applies and it will pull the translation associated with y.

Sorry I was silent, work was insane and then we had TWO deaths in the family, been a bit crazy. The good news is it's much more quiet now :)
