How to stop a "translation war"?

[Zayed Al-Saidi]

Dear Juraj,

Thank you to bring this to my attention. It seems the scripty kiddy doing
the fight with my Lokalize and summit without human involvement 😅.

As far I understand, the result both forms will give same result.
Fifth form: for numbers that end with a number between 11 and 99 (like:
1099, 278)

n%100>=11 && n%100<=99 ? 4
n%100>=11 ? 4

Is that correct? As I mentioned before, we have sticked to the last one for
decade without issue.

I don't know who introduced the first one to scripty kiddy.

Regards,
Zayed
