Could someone tell me how to localize the following strings?

\applications\vanilla\views\discussions\helper_functions.php

 printf(PluralTranslate($Discussion->CountComments, 
               '%s comment html', '%s comments html', '%s comment', '%s comments'),
               BigPlural($Discussion->CountComments, '%s comment'));

my language pack:

$Definition['%s comment'] = '%s XXXX';
$Definition['%s comments'] = '%s XXXX';

It didn't work.

Here's the function:

function PluralTranslate($Number, $Singular, $Plural, $SingularDefault = FALSE, $PluralDefault = FALSE) {
    if ($Number == 1)
        return T($Singular, $SingularDefault);
    else
        return T($Plural, $PluralDefault);
}

Meaning that your locale definitions should look like this:

$Definition['%s comment html'] = '%s XXXX';
$Definition['%s comments html'] = '%s XXXX';

Why is that? Because the $Singular and $Plural variables are the ones being used as identifiers in the PluralTranslate function (e.g. T($Singular, $SingularDefault).
