And translators are expcted to keep "%<PRIuMAX>" in their translated
.po files, and whatever translates .po into .mo knows what
%<PRIuMAX> should be mapped to?
That is surprising.
On a related but not surprising tangent, I see this example in
gettext.info that may be relevant.
About larger integer types, such as ‘uintmax_t’ or ‘unsigned long
long’: they can be handled by reducing the value to a range that fits in
an ‘unsigned long’. Simply casting the value to ‘unsigned long’ would
not do the right thing, since it would treat ‘ULONG_MAX + 1’ like zero,
‘ULONG_MAX + 2’ like singular, and the like. Here you can exploit the
fact that all mentioned plural form formulas eventually become periodic,
with a period that is a divisor of 100 (or 1000 or 1000000). So, when
you reduce a large value to another one in the range [1000000, 1999999]
that ends in the same 6 decimal digits, you can assume that it will lead
to the same plural form selection. This code does this:
#include <inttypes.h>
uintmax_t nbytes = ...;
printf (ngettext ("The file has %"PRIuMAX" byte.",
"The file has %"PRIuMAX" bytes.",
(nbytes > ULONG_MAX
? (nbytes % 1000000) + 1000000
: nbytes)),
nbytes);
