Incorrect plural forms on WordPress.org

Description

I've noticed a couple of incorrect declensions in some parts of WordPress.org.

  1. On https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/comment-images-reloaded/, Last Update string uses an incorrect form:
    Обновление: 5 месяца назад
    
    Should be:
    Обновление: 5 месяцев назад
    
    The %s month string is properly translated in GlotPress.
  1. On https://ru.wordpress.org/wp-admin/edit.php, the "67 items" string uses an incorrect form:
    67 элемента
    
    Should be:
    67 элементов
    
    The %s items string is properly translated in GlotPress.

I've checked the admin-ru_RU.po file on https://ru.wordpress.org/, and the Plural-Forms header looks correct and matches the one recommended by GNU.org for Russian:

Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n

In both examples above, the 2nd form (for 2—4 items) is used instead of the 3rd form (for 5+ or 0 items).

Could not reproduce on a local install, so it appears to be specific to WordPress.org. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Seems like all currently generated plugin/theme language packs are also missing Plural-Forms header? Any chance to regenerate all the affected language packs once the issue is resolved? Otherwise, there would be a lot of subtle translation issues that would be hard to track down later.

If that would be the case we'd already have hundreds of reports for that. 😉 The mo files for language packs are generated with msgfmt.

Gotcha, so only WordPress.org is affected? OK then :)

Point 2 from the ticket description appears to be fixed, but point 1 is not, I still see the incorrect form ("6 месяца назад") on https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/comment-images-reloaded/.

Is it just a cache issue, or some language packs were not regenerated yet?

Should be good now.
