Support for pluralization-based keys about babelfish HOT 6 CLOSED

I need code examples. Bf should be ok with skipping count https://github.com/nodeca/babelfish#phrases-syntax

from babelfish.

It's simple:

I need output like "less than a minute" when count is 1. And output like "less than 5 minutes" when count is 5.

Take a note that translation for single word form is different from others here.

Another way to do this - method to know is translation available.

Something like isTranslationAvailable("ru_RU", "some.key").

It's not supported, but possible to do without syntax change. zero-based value can be detected automatically, since every plural know exact number of expected params. If plural get one param more, then it's separate value for zero. After that:

((less than a minute|#{count} minute|#{count} minutes)):count

I've skipped implementation of separate zero value as rare case.

About topic name (pluralization keys). Babeffish is string-based. It's idea is avoid keys, because those are not convenient. So, adding this feature is design break.

But nobody prohibit you to make 2 calls - one to select phrase name, and second to get translation:

((phrase_key1|phrase_key2|phrase_key2|phrase_key2)) - that looks like acceptable tradeoff for having other 99% phrases in one string.

from babelfish.

We choose to use double translation to allow separate phrases on plurals.
