Recently, I was working on updating the plural forms used inside yelp-xsl localization stylesheets. I looked two places to make sure I got things right: the Unicode CLDR project, and the PO files in gtk+. Usually they said the same thing, and I was happy. Sometimes they didn't, and that confuses me.
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html I'm sending that list of discrepancies in case it's something that needs to be followed up on. I'm not saying anybody's wrong or there's a bug. I just think the differences are curious. am as bn gu hi kn mr pa si ============================================== GTK+ says plurals=2; plural=(n != 1); CLDR says the singular includes 0 (This is by far the most common discrepancy.) br ====== GTK+ says nplurals=2; plural=n > 1; (singular+zero, and plural) CLDR says 5 forms: one, two, few, many, other cy ====== GTK+ says nplurals=2; plural=(n==2) ? 1 : 0; CLDR shows 6 forms: zero, one, two, few (3), many (6), and other dz ====== GTK+ says nplurals=2; plural=(n!=1);\ CLDR says one form fa ====== GTK+ says nplurals=1; plural=0; CLDR says two forms: singular+zero, and plural he ====== GTK+ says nplurals=2; plural= (n!=1); CLDR says four forms: one, two, many, other is ====== GTK+ says nplurals=2; plural=1; CLDR says two forms, but singular is n%10=1 lv ====== GTK+ says nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n != 0 ? 1 : 2); CLDR says 3 forms: zero(%10), one(%10), and other mk ====== GTK+ declares one more form than it calculates: nplurals=3; plural= n==1 || n%10==1 ? 0 : 1 This isn't the case in other mk.po files in GNOME, so this is probably just a type that should be corrected. ms ====== GTK+ doesn't have forms, so defaults to en rules CLDR says 1 form tr ====== GTK+ says nplurals=1; plural=0; CLDR says two forms: singular, and plural _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
