 On the other hand, in case of an issue when **user can’t get what he wants** (out of GPS signal, missing routing data pack etc.), Locus does NOT mock the user - it always **tries to help**, not making fun of it - **never use negatives** like "never", "bad" etc.
-===== Technical issues =====
-==== Plurals ====
-Crowdin.com is not able to handle **Android plural system** correctly. So you're directly translating XML source file instead of the text.
-It is also not possible to define which "quantity" identifiers you need, so as you can see, we had to define all six possibilities, even if they're often the same. But they're not of course the same in all languages.
-What "quantity" means is in the table below. Complete description is [[http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#Plurals|here >>]] if you're interested.
