Incorrect plural forms

I've noticed that you have translated some words about time to swedish but the plural forms are incorrect.
Here are the correct forms:
Years - År
Months - Månader
Weeks - Veckor
Days - Dagar
Hours- Timmar
Minutes - Minuter
Seconds - Sekunder

Examples:
1 year and 5 months ago - 1 år och 5 månader sedan
5 months and 3 weeks ago - 5 månader och 3 veckor sedan
1 week and 2 days ago - 1 vecka och 2 dagar sedan
5 hours and 35 minutes ago - 5 timmar och 35 minuter sedan 
14 seconds ago - 14 sekunder sedan

Re: Incorrect plural forms

And I think that the translator just takes the singular words from the Scratch Translation database and then adds an S.

Re: Incorrect plural forms

I have changed the 'S' to 'er' on the Translator site, but when making plural forms in Swedish there are no rules. On some words you add 'er' on some you add 'ar' and some change completely.

Watch this video:

It contains some in appropriate words but he explains the grammar part.

Re: Incorrect plural forms

Wait- isn't Norwiegen similar to Swedish or something? Cuz I heard that year in Norsk was Ar (My computer doesn't have those Norwiegen letters on it). Is it the same with Swedish?


Lucario and Riolu ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  smile
