  Can anyone tell me how to translate these kind of strings?
  (I think the second picture should be the correct form, but I’m not sure because I receive that warning)
  Thanks

  The warning was a mistake on our side and you should not get it again.

  The correct way of translating this is to provide only one phrase in your language, which best translates the original string. %s is the number of people, so it is a good idea to include it. Probably your translation should be something like:

  %s نفر
