Hi,guys

I have met a problem in Chinese translation, maybe a ridiculous
question,

Suppose '%1' is 3, let's see,

Source:   quarter to %1
Trans:    %1 点差 15 分 
Display:  3 点差 15 分

But,

"3 点差 15 分" doesn't meet Chinese custom,
"2 点 45 分" does.

So, can I translate it like this?

Source:   quarter to %1
Trans:    %0 点 45 分
Display:  2 点 45 分

It is to say, if '%1' is 3, what can I substitute '%1' to make it be
displayed as 2?

Best regards,
Chipong Luo
