cocoa touch - iOS - Hanling plural noun localization with .stringsdict - not working -

i trying implement plural rules localisation. i.e., expect "one file..." when argument 1, "2 files..." when argument 2 , likewise.

i followed apple guidelines. results plural, 1 i.e, "1 files...".

i've created localizable.stringsdict file following content (exactly apple guidelines).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype plist public "-//apple//dtd plist 1.0//en" "http://www.apple.com/dtds/propertylist-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0">     <dict>         <key>%d messages in inbox</key>         <dict>             <key>nsstringlocalizedformatkey</key>             <string>%#@messages@ in inbox</string>             <key>messages</key>             <dict>                 <key>nsstringformatspectypekey</key>                 <string>nsstringpluralruletype</string>                 <key>nsstringformatvaluetypekey</key>                 <string>d</string>                 <key>one</key>                 <string>one message is</string>                 <key>other</key>                 <string>%d messages are</string>             </dict>         </dict>     </dict> </plist> 

this how use key in code

    nslog(@"%@", [nsstring localizedstringwithformat:nslocalizedstring(@"%d messages in inbox", @"message shown remaining files"), 1]); 

what problem?. here sample code have tried far.

while debugging, i've noticed localization.stringsdict file ignored. when i've recreated it, started work properly. guess original file created wrong type: correct type should property list.

i've sent pull request suggested.
