This is true and I never realized that when reviewing this change. Sorry for 
that.

I am not subscribed to kde-i18n-doc list. Please, if you have issues with 
translations in a project where I contribute, do not hesitate to ask me. I am 
more than happy to help.

I am not sure what is the best way to fix that. I can only think of having the 
different sentences as a whole in i18n calls: i18n("no artists found") or 
i18n("no albums found"). We would have to modify the code to handle that 
properly.

Is this something that would be an acceptable solution ?
