False positive with missing space warning

[nkosi23]

i've got a warning for the following translation from English to French while everything is actually correct:

Original string:
{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =1 {project} other {projects}}

Translated String:
{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =1 {projet} other {projets}}

This is, I think, unfortunate translation of Placeholder “{project}” is missing from translation.

That it triggers on ICU MessageFormat syntax is unfortunate, but well, that will require proper support for that syntax in Poedit to be handled.

Oh I see, thanks for the insights!

This is indeed an xlf file from an angular project (sorry for not mentioning it)
This syntax is needed to pluralize translations, but supporting it may be tricky since any number of cases can be specified: for example:

{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =1 {project} other {projects}}

could also be

{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =1 {project} =2 {large project} =3 {mega project} other {corporate programs}}

However the below seems to be properly supported by poedit as I do not have this warning:

{VAR_SELECT, select, 1 {today } 2 {by the day of delivery } other {no later than {INTERPOLATION} months after delivery }}

So maybe the code handling VAR_SELECT could be reused for the most part.
