Re: Format specification issue in the translations...

[Julien Lepiller]

Hi!

I think it's indeed a bug in the Shepherd. Both forms should be identical for 
singular and plural. Especially, I think we should use ~{ ~a,~} in both cases 
since even when there's a single service, the argument is a list, so with only 
~a, it wouldn't show properly.
