Singular / plural translations about client-translations HOT 4 CLOSED

@jaytaph thanks for the suggestion! Plurals are actually already fully supported in the core, just not exposed to plugins.

A copy however has to be marked in the code to fetch translations using grammatical number distinction, and also pass the count to the translation function. Otherwise translator will try to fetch a generic, non-numbered, copy.

Then in the translation file things would look like:

webinar: {
  peersCount: {
    one: '%s person is watching',
    many: '%s persons are watching',
  },
},

Currently only singular/plural is supported but if a necessity we can of course add more complex forms, e.g. Russian one/few/many.

Is this something we can add to the translation then? It seems a bit weird (in some languages anyway) to say "1 persons are watching"

@jaytaph absolutely. I'll add a ticket.

@jaytaph the support is there now. Here's a usage example: c197b3c
Both the old and the new version are supported, so no rush with updating. :)
