I've seen it during discussion with Nikerabbit on tw.net (look at the
first LQ-threat according pywikipedia) and I am working on a pythonic
version of the plural-gettext.txt. I am using lambda function for that like
this one (for mk-wiki):
plural = lambda n: 0 if (n == 1 or n%10 == 1) else 1
I think this is the easiest way.
Yes, this makes sense. Can TW output a formatted version? Anyway, I would
suggest using the same dict-based format as the other translations, i.e.
{
'en': lambda n: 0 if (n == 0 or n 1) else 1,
'mk': lambda n: 0 if (n==1 or n%10=1) else 1,
}
etc, which would make it easy to use in python. But you probably already
thought of that :-)
But we have a remaining problem found on table2wiki. Now we have 3 messages.
One message is used if we have no warning, and we have two messages either
for one or a lot of warnings. I guess we could keep the first
table2wiki-no-warning message and merge the two messages
table2wiki-one-warning and table2wiki-warnings using {{Plural:}} tag. It
is also possible to use the first message every time and append the warning
message if needed.
Yes, this makes sense. I would suggest using 'no edits' and 'there are n
edits', which makes sense as a distinction. TW is dynamic enough to quickly
translate merged messages, I guess.
anyway -- good luck implementing :-)
Best,
Merlijn
