Hpmh, if it is OK to assume that in all human languages it is OK to express the reate as <number> followed by translated "per second", without allowing the order from getting changed, then ...

Show 5 quoted lines

wouldn't it make more sense to split GiB, MiB, KiB and "bytes" units out of these messages, and ask only these unit names, without the %u.%2.2u number formats, to get translated by the localization team?

This needs the Q_() to deal with plural (i.e. in en, between "byte" and "bytes").
