    Description

          Problem
          Opened a .ts file which had its target language set to Luganda ('Ganda').
          Expected to be able to translate strings including their plural options.
          Instead the following happens:
             a. It complains that it does not know the plural rules for the language (attached picture 'does-not-know-plurals-rules.png'.)
             b. It does not allow translation for plurals (attached picture, 'unpatched-behaviour.png'.)

          Cause
          Missing entry for 'Ganda' in <somepath>/qt5/qttools/src/linguist/shared/numerus.cpp
          (Also noted that <somepath>/qt5/qtbase/util/locale_database/testlocales/localemodel.cpp is missing an entry for the same language)
           
           Fix
           Apply patch to <somepath>/qt5/qttools/src/linguist/shared/numerus.cpp. Attachment 'numerus-ganda-patch.txt'.
           It adds the language into the 'English style' section.
           (Patch also supplied for <somepath>/qt5/qtbase/util/locale_database/testlocales/localemodel.cpp. Attachment 'localemodel-ganda-patch.txt'.)
