Strange (?) string in ubuntuone

[Milo Casagrande]

Hi,

I was looking at the new stringh in ubuntuone, and found out this one:

0 contact
0 contacts

This is the code where it comes from:

picker->priv->total_label = gtk_label_new (ngettext ("0 contact", "0
contacts", 0));

What is the purpose of that? I have to say it's the first time I see
something like that...

Ciao.
