Study how to best support plurals in Android and iOS.

Some useful materials:

• http://cldr.unicode.org/index/cldr-spec/plural-rules
• http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
• https://angular.io/guide/i18n#pluralization
• https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource#Plurals
• https://medium.com/@vitaliikuznetsov/plurals-localization-using-stringsdict-in-ios-a910aab8c28c
• https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/StringsdictFileFormat/StringsdictFileFormat.html

Help and ideas are more than welcome!

Current state of the art translated keys are limited to 500 characters

This has been done on purpose because:

• the whole strings table on both iOS and Android gets loaded at the app startup. Having a big string table has performance penalties, so limiting strings length is good because in turn you start thinking about solving your problems with shorter strings and you are performance-first by design
• on some older android devices, having strings longer than 500 characters crashed the app

However, nothing in this world remains unchanged for a long period of time and things must evolve. Made some research.

• On Android the new limit seems to be 32K: https://brightinventions.pl/blog/string-too-large-in-android-resources
• On iOS no apparent limitation is applied on Localizable.strings file nor single string's length

So given that:

• Increasing the max length for translatable strings won't cause crashes
• memory footprint of apps will tend to be greater

It could be safe to extend this limit in the next localiser release.
