 * I have marked the number zero with the arrow, but should it not be #5?
 * This is the original code:
    `Found a total of %1$d posts, showing %2$d posts 
   from offset %3$s.`

 * The Italian translation is wrong, or at least misleading there. The English original
   text has it correct: Relevanssi is showing “5 posts from offset 0”, which means“
   from the beginning of the results”. If you choose to show ten results and have
   more than then, the first page of results will show “offset 0”, the second page
   will show “offset 10” and so on.
 * The 5 you’re expecting if the first 5 – that’s the total number of results found.
   The second 5 is the number of results shown on this page.

 * It’s not very clear. You could put something simpler.
 * **If posts_per_page: 10**, in the last pag.
 * E.g.: “A total of 27 articles found, showing 7 articles of the previous 20.”

 * Hmm, your suggestion isn’t much clearer to me. But sure, I’ll see if I can come
   up something that is easier to understand. The current English version is very
   clear for developers, but perhaps less clear for others.
