I assume cz has a similar requirement although I don't know, all I have seen are these rules. en does "one" or "other" cz does just like you described. using "few" and what not
However I find this functionality somewhat arbitrary and at the same time useless, or am I just missing something? I thought it would be something more like what you described you had to do on your own. So you could do something like ordinals or create statements like, I have X string(x) - where I could supply a value and get strings back that make sense. 0 : "I have no strings", 1 : "I have 1 string", 2-100 : "I have 2 strings" <plural name="whatever"> <item quantity="zero">I have no strings</item> <item quantity="one">I have 1 string<item> <item quantity="other">I have %d strings</item> </plural> On Sep 20, 3:41 pm, Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> wrote: > I recently used this mechanism in my app. It's localized for Russian, where > plurals conjugate (or is it congregate?) depending on the quantity: 2 > through 4 have one ending, 5 and greater have another.
