I'm not sure how this works and even how to fix it. Don't you just have a 
line for each plural?

Pseudo language:
"_n: Do you really want to delete the selected file?\n" (1 files)
"Do you really want to delete the selected files?" (2 files)
"Do you really want to delete the selected files++?" (many files)

CCing kde-i18n-doc and kde-doc-english, as I don't really know what I'm 
talking about.

Regards,
Malcolm
