Bug Description
In ../libgwibber-
"person liked this"
In ../libgwibber-
"people liked this"
These strings are untranslatable in many languages, as the number is missing from the sentence, and they cannot be translated in a correct or understandable way, as the number would need to be rearranged within the sentence.
In general, it's always a bad idea to split sentences, which in most cases results in missing context or untranslatable strings.

There are some more strings that need plurals, namely the "X minutes/hours/days ago" strings in the main window. The file containing these is missing from POTFILES.in too. Proposed branch fixes all of this. I also changed the time limit of the "a few seconds ago" string, because IMHO between 30 and 60 seconds, the "0 minutes ago" string would look funny. Before, this case was considered "1 minute ago", I hope this is not a problem.
