[FunkyMuse]

• Web (K/Wasm) - Canvas based API
• Android

Versions

• Kotlin version*: 2.0.0-RC1
• Compose Multiplatform version*: 1.6.10-dev1593
• OS version(s)* (required for Desktop and iOS issues): MacOS 14.4.1 (23E224)
• OS architecture (x86 or arm64): arm64
• Device (model or simulator for iOS issues): Galaxy S22 Ultra Android 14, iOS 17.2 simulator

To Reproduce Steps and/or the code snippet to reproduce the behavior:

Downloading Downloading 1 file Downloading %1$d files

2.
```kotlin
val newValue = 10
val textToShow = getPluralString(
                            resource = Res.plurals.downloading_files,
                            quantity = newValue
                        )

// or when used in Compose manner

val text = pluralStringResource(Res.plurals.downloading_files, 10)

It just displays the placeholder Downloading %1$d files

Expected behavior The text should show Downloading 10 files

There is third parameter for arguments:

fun pluralStringResource(resource: PluralStringResource, quantity: Int, vararg formatArgs: Any): String {...}

You are supposed to use val text = pluralStringResource(Res.plurals.downloading_files, 10, 10)

Hello, interesting why the first one is needed, when we provide just resource and quantity?

[paxbun]

@b0r1ngx The design is an imitation of Android's plural string resource. We can't decide which argument should be used as the quantity when there are multiple format arguments.

@terrakok, the plural string example in the new documentation provides a code without format arguments.

Text(pluralStringResource(Res.string.new_message, 1))

I think the third formatArgs argument should be noted to make fewer people confused.
