Grammar error in "Added pack(s) contain symbolic links"

The Bug:

The string "Added pack(s) contain symbolic links" (symlink_warning.title.pack) contains a grammar error. The sentence' subject ("pack(s)") shows that this can be about one or more packs, as evidenced by the parentheses surrounding 's'. The accompanying verb should also account for that and therefore should be changed to "contain(s)".

Affected String:

Before reading the table, please note the following:

  • Words colored in GREEN are correct.

  • Words colored in RED are incorrect.

 

Current String

Expected String

Added pack(s) contain symbolic links

Added pack(s) contain(s) symbolic links

h3. Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Display the affected string as listed above by using the command provided below.

    /tellraw @s {"translate":"symlink_warning.title.pack"}
  2. Take note whether or not "Added pack contain symbolic links" is a potential grammar error in this case or not.

Observed Behavior:

The word "contain" is written as "contain", ignoring the singular case.

Expected Behavior:

The word "contain" would be spelled as "contain(s)" to account for both singular and plural.

Comments 1

Probably better string altogether "At least one pack added contains at least one symbiotic link"; longer, but gets rid of that singular/plural awkwardness (as well as covering the case of 1 link, rather than always saying it's multiple, and being a bit more translation friendly).
