Re: Format specification issue in the translations...

Hi!

I think it's indeed a bug in the Shepherd. Both forms should be identical for singular and plural. Especially, I think we should use ~{ ~a,~} in both cases since even when there's a single service, the argument is a list, so with only ~a, it wouldn't show properly.
