Comment (by pulkomandy):
ICU manages this:
* http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1MessageFormat.html
* http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1PluralFormat.html
They use a pattern system which allows to "fold" all the rules into a
string:
{{{
UnicodeString msgPatEn = "{0,plural, one{# dog} other{# dogs}}";
UnicodeString msgPatSl = "{0,plural, one{# pes} two{# psa} few{#
psi} other{# psov}}";
}}}
the # is replaced with the value. The rules are defined by KapiX second
link for all languages. Polish uses "one", "few", "many", and "other".
Does that format sound right for translators?
