Strings 5840 and 5853
I can't get Transifex to accept my Swedish translation of strings 5840 and 5853. The virtual button Save Translation is greyed out. What is wrong?

5840 is "Add %n measure(s)", that string needs 2 translations, ine for singlular (labeled "1") and and another for plural (labeled "other"). Some languages even need 3 or 4 translations there...
Same story for 5853, "Delete %n measure(s)" and any string that contains a "%n"

How is that done here? Other strings with plural endings in parentheses work fine.

Nothing special, same as all other strings with a "%n", Just check sv (as opposed to your sv_SV)

It must be something special since the other strings with e.g. "takt(er)" work fine?

No, I just did it and it just works as I described: add a translation for "1" and one for "other", only after that you can save

You need a singlular translation, "other" is the default, so switch to "1"

Now I believe I have found "1" and "other"; they are virtual buttons to the right in the toolbar above the translation field.

Indeed. Just as for all ither strings containing "%n"...

BTW: For singular you could drop the %n and replace it with (the translation of) "one"
I've now just done of for you (taking the sv translations), please review (and change if need be)

Now after your translation I could edit the translated strings and save them; previously I could not make Transifex accept anything I tried.

Why "...(er)" in plural?
In reply to Why "...(er)" in plural? by Jojo-Schmitz
Because that is what corresponds to the original string.

So what? That string is supposed to cover singular __and__plural in just one string. it needs to get "translated" even in the en_US and en_GB translations.
Is the Swedish word "takter" plural in all plural cases (for all numbers other than 1, actually in this case all cases greater than 1, as 0 just won't happen here)? Then drop the ().

"[...] it needs to get "translated" [...]"
That "translated" is not translation, and I suppose that is the real problem here.
"Is the Swedish word "takter" plural in all plural cases [...]"
No, not in all, but all that should be used in this string.

You're not using those "(er)" in any other %n (plural) string
