      posting.php contains a string with 2 numbered placeholders that need plural forms. This is not immediately apparent from the English string, because it is phrased in a computery way. I recommend splitting this into 2 strings, and rephrasing the English string:

      Code: Select all
      'TOO_FEW_CHARS_LIMIT' => array(
      1 => 'Your message contains %1$d character. The minimum number of characters you need to enter is %2$d.',
      2 => 'Your message contains %1$d characters. The minimum number of characters you need to enter is %2$d.',
      ),

      My suggestion:

      Code: Select all
      'TOO_FEW_CHARS_CONTAINS' => array(
      1 => 'Your message contains %1$d character. %2$d',
      2 => 'Your message contains %1$d characters. %2$d',
      ),

      'TOO_FEW_CHARS_LIMIT' => array(
      1 => 'You need to enter at least %1$d character.',
      2 => 'You need to enter at least %1$d characters.',
      ),

      Then replace %2$d in TOO_FEW_CHARS_CONTAINS with TOO_FEW_CHARS_LIMIT

      P.S. same goes for:

      Code: Select all
      'TOO_MANY_CHARS_POST' => array(
      2 => 'Your message contains %1$d characters. The maximum number of allowed characters is %2$d.',
      ),
      'TOO_MANY_CHARS_SIG' => array(
      2 => 'Your signature contains %1$d characters. The maximum number of allowed characters is %2$d.',
      ),
