--- Comment #2 from Yaron Shahrabani <sh.ya...@gmail.com> --- Yes, this is the plural form that was used for over 20 years, and although it was wrong it was very complicated to change. Several years ago my friends filed a request against CLDR asking them to change the plural forms to match the way people speak rather than how the language rules are formed. So in Hebrew, there are several special cases where we need to use the 3rd form (dual): time terms (Hour->Hours, Week->Weeks, etc.) but that still doesn't fully reflect how people speak Hebrew, because when talking about many years (20 years, 15 years, etc.) we switch back to the singular form (20 year, 15 year, etc.). Although the language rules permit using the general plural form for many years this is not how the native Hebrew speakers speak. So the timeline is: 1. Two forms. 2. 4 forms. 3. (From 2021) 3 forms (eliminating the 4th rule). The decision about the 4 forms was a community consensus while the decision from 2021 was outrageous and unacceptable because a single contributor just presented why he thinks it shouldn't be that way and the CLDR quorum simply accepted that without consulting other parties. So I'm sticking with option number 2 which is more native although pretty tedious most of the time. I've filed a request to turn the tables on the decision from 2021, the original contributor is not responding so far but I'm going to make sure we'll get those rules back since it's better to choose not to use the extra forms but not being able to use them is limiting and incorrect. I can attach more links to this decision if it's not enough. So far nobody reached out to gettext to request an alignment with the CLDR decision because we all thought it was automatic but apparently, we need to do it manually. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
