Currently the homepage language guess text uses these:
- (singular) WordPress is also available in %s.
- (multiple) WordPress is also available in %s (also %s).
Support Forums use:
- (singular) WordPress support forums are also available in %s.
- (multiple) WordPress support forums are also available in %s (also %s).
Plugins use this:
- (singular) The plugin directory is also available in %s.
- (multiple) The plugin directory is also available in %1$s (also: %2$s).
- (singular) This plugin is also available in %1$s. <a href="%2$s">Help
improve the translation!</a>
- (multiple) This plugin is also available in %1$s (also: %2$s). <a
href="%3$s">Help improve the translation!</a>
Feedback suggests that the `(also ...)` part is probably not ideal, and in
addition the plugin directory uses `also:` rather than just `also`.
These strings should probably be updated to read:
> WordPress is also available in {locale}, {locale2}, and {locale3}.
That would be "one" string, so we should update our strings from `__()` to
`_n()` as well, and respect the locale's `wp_sprintf_l()` translations for
how to join those locale names, rather than just using `,`.
This would also help with the display of English variants which have
brackets in their name (IMHO these are named incorrectly, but that's a
different issue):
> WordPress is also available in English (Australia) (also English (UK)).
