I see this issue as well - it affects other pages / macro components too. I think it has something to do with i18n...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funnily enough, if the count value is '1' then that shows. But no other number does.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if the problem is in the pluralizer?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see this problem on trunk. Can you give a list of your installed gems please?

Downgraded i18n gem to 0.4.2 and it solved the problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I downgraded i18n from 0.5.0 to 0.4.2, but the problem is still there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Nevermind - I didn't actually downgrade the i18n gem... still at 0.5.0. My apologies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i18n downgrade to 0.4.2 worked for me as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got the problem when i updated my gems. When i downgrade i18n to 0.4.2 it did solve the problem.
Have you tried to uninstall i18n it will tell if there are more versions install.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gem install i18n -v 0.4.2
check if you have another version install gem uninstall i18n
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is fixed !!!, the solution is :

#gem install i18n -v=0.4.2
#gem uninstall i18n -v=0.5.0

Thank !!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That will not work for me as I have another app on that server about to upgrade to Rails-3.0.0. And that requires I18n v 0.5.

If I unpack the i18n -v 0.4.2 gem into vendor in the Redmine project will that work?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither unpacking the i18n v-0.4.2 gem into vendor/gems nor configuring the gem with :version => '0.4.2' had any effect. Redmine insists on using the higher numbered system i18n gem.

This is actually Rails that loads the gem and I didn't find a solution to change this behaviour.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The solution would be to change the locales so that they use the new i18n interpolation syntax (#6495).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the old version of i18n is vendored with rails-2.3.5 per #6495 then why is not Rails using it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In @activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/vendor.rb@:

<pre>
begin
gem 'i18n', '>= 0.1.3'
rescue Gem::LoadError
$:.unshift "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/vendor/i18n-0.1.3/lib"
end
</pre>

will pick any gem instead of the vendored lib.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easily fixed.

Just replace all {{foo}} strings in your config/locales/*.yml file of your currently used language and redmine is working with i18n 0.5.0 and above.

Maybe redmine should depend on i18n 0.5 and convert all translations.

Sorry :)

Just replace all {{foo}} strings with %{foo}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course it can be easily fixed. But adding a dependency in Redmine (eg. @config.gem 'i18', :version => '0.5.0'@) won't do anything because Rails 2.3.5 will have already loaded the vendored i18n 0.1.3 if no i18n gem is installed.

I think the cleanest solution is to upgrade to latest Rails 2.3.x that natively supports the new i18n interpolation format.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also experience the problem in this Defect with 1.0.4. At first, I solved it by replacing all {{foo}} strings with %{foo} in my .yml file. I had i18n 0.5.0 installed. However, one problem still remained. In several places, dates were displayed in the format 2010.12.{{count}}.
Downgrading to i18n 0.4.2 helped to some extent. Dates are now displayed correctly on the Tasks tab and the detail view of Tasks. But the problem still occurs on the Activity tab.
I can provide a gem list, if needed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix committed in trunk in r4516. I18n 0.4.2 is now required and will be loaded before rails tries to load a more recent one. Fix will be backported to 1.0-stable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wouldn't it be better to fix the .yml files so that they work with current versions of i18n?

Update to r4529 works for me with Passenger 3.0.2 and resolves issue

The locales are now using the new syntax (r4518). But Redmine 1.1 will use i18n 0.4.2 so that plugins don't have to migrate their locales now. I18n 0.5.0 is no longer compatible with the old syntax.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4516 merged into 1.0-stable in r4532. Locales will be left with the old syntax in 1.0-stable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had this happen when I upgraded to 1.1.3 (from 1.0.3). I only have i18n 0.4.2 and 0.4.1 installed. I've tried the various fixes suggested, but none of them have helped.

I got the same problem when migrating Redmine 1.1.3 from Webrick to Passenger + Apache2.
I have i18n version 0.4.2 installed, but still seeing tags like %{author} %{age} on my Issues pages.

My list of gems:

actionmailer (2.3.11)
actionpack (2.3.11)
activerecord (2.3.11)
activeresource (2.3.11)
activesupport (2.3.11)
i18n (0.4.2)
rack (1.1.1, 1.0.1)
rails (2.3.11)
rake (0.9.0)

Regards.
