[Gambas-user] Example to IIF: what is meant here

[Caveat]

As I read it, it means it would be difficult to make a multi-language 
version of that message.  It's too broken up and makes a specific 
English grammatical choice (whether to add 's' for plural).

Someone who wanted to translate this program to work in another 
country's language would struggle with messages like this.

Kind regards,
Caveat
