Title: ECM and Computer both need 1 hourSSS to be mounted
Post by: Rodmar on August 27, 2015, 06:20:25 pm

Hello,

This is not really a feature request, nor a bug report. It's about a textual enhancement.

Simply said, among all the aircraft equipments, two of them have a mounting time equal to 1 hour (other need 2 or more hours).
This result in a message on the Craft screen such as:        "will be mounted in 1 hours".

Suggestion: either

• add a test or modify the text formatting, and add a new string: "hour" when there's only ONE, or
• simply raise the mounting time to a greater number: e.g. 1,2 or 1,5 hours if decimal numbers are allowed, else 2 hours.

:)

Actually this is a bug. We're using gettext which is capable to manage different plural forms based on the actual value.
Feel free to submit patches, I created a bugreport for you: Bug#5498 (http://ufoai.org/bugs/ufoalieninvasion/issues/5498)
