      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

      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.
