In english you can use "hour/hours=hour(s)", but in Lithuanian there is 3 forms "valanda/valandos/valandų=valanda(-os,-ų)" it look stupid, for that .po format has plural forms. More then 2 plural forms has a lot of languages, not only Lithuanian. Please add plural forms for strings:
62: %d hour %d mins
63: %d hour
64: %d mins
142: days
143: hours
144: mins
167: times

P.S. i'm still translating, so maybe later i'll add more requests.

264: Build alarm list: Added %d alarms. Processed %d events.
this one and in English wrong, if there is only 1 alarm so should be "Added 1 alarm." not "Added 1 alarms."
Comment 2 Algimantas Margevičius 2012-02-04 13:36:08 CET
265: Found %d alarms of which %d are active. (Searched %d recurring alarms.)
289: Archive now (threshold: %d months)

most translators are not able to translate plural forms correctly, so based on my experiency they cause mote problems than good.
