public static string GetPluralString (string s, string p, int n)

Parameters

s
A string containing the singular form of the string. It is also used as the key to search the catalog on. [Edit]
p
A string containing the plural form of the string. [Edit]
n
An int containing a number that determines which form of the string to return. If n is one, the translation for s is returned; otherwise, the translation for p is returned. [Edit]
