51th

Post by PinguinBen »

Hey there!

Something caught my eyes just now. When you reach the top ranking from a certain game, you can see what your rank is. This is a fun addition and makes even me competitive.

I’m now number 51 in the game Donuts.
The way it’s shown is incorrect. It shows as 51th, but it should be 51st.

Just like 50th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th etc

It’s a tiny mistake, but I just had to mention it.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, … 51st, … is irregular and will be different in different languages.

I would guess, that the text template „${n}th“ is used for that. To fix it, BGA could use text templates „1st“, „2nd“, …, „9th“ and probably „10th“ instead. 51 could be displayed as „5“ concatenation with „1st“. But does this schema match for all languages that BGA supports?

By the way, the current German translation for „${n}th“ is just „${n}.“ (so it would be displayed as „1.“, „2.“, „3.“, … „51.“, …). If you hink that this should be the solution for English as well, you can request a change by editing the „English to English“ translation here:
