PluralForm for arabic

[Hicham Amaoui <amaoui at altern dot org>]

Hi all,
Some changes must be made to kdelibs.po and to every translation that 
begin with "_n:.." to support
PluralForm for arabic.

For kdelibs.po, the change is for the translation:
"_: Dear translator, please do not translate this string in any form, but "
"pick the _ right_ value out of NoPlural/TwoForms/French.... If not sure 
what "
"to do mail thd at kde dot org and coolo at kde dot org, they will tell you. Better 
leave "
"that out if unsure, the programs will crash!!\n"
"Definition of PluralForm - to be set by the translator of kdelibs.po"

I've contacted Stephan Kulow (coolo at kde dot org) and hi told me that 
we should put the translation:
OneTwoRest

Now for the translations, you should preceed like this:
msgid ""
"_n: %n message, %1.\n"
"%n messages, %1."
msgstr ""
"translation for 1 message %1 \n"
"translation for 2 messages %1 \n"
"translation for n>=3 messages %1"

ie:
مفرد
مثنى
جمع

Regards,
Hicham Amaoui

Put in there OneTwoRest - it's the new name for Gailege
