The string codes

CARGO_LONG CARGO_SHORT CARGO_TINY

take two parameters:

1. Cargo type Id

2. Cargo amount

 

Some languages try to use plural {P} and referencing these string codes:

{CARGO_LONG} {P "" s}

{P 0 "" s} {CARGO_LONG}

 

However, this fails, since the amount is the second sub parameter. Correct would be:

{CARGO_LONG} {P 0:1 "" s}

{P 0:1 "" s} {CARGO_LONG}

 

Solutions to the problem:

A) Eints detects the error. If we find a good error message, translators can fix it by adding ":1" everywhere.

B) Change the order of parameters in OTTD. -> Breaks compatiblity with GS -> no option.

C) Make strgen supply a default sub parameter offset for those string codes.
