Named variables #56

Closed nuke-dash closed 7 months ago

nuke-dash commented 10 months ago

Would it be possible to add support for named variables similar to the ICU Message Format? for example: {total.count} channels are now available! We found {tv.channel.count} TV channels and {radio.channel.count} radio channels. instead of {0} channels are now available! We found {1} TV channels and {2} radio channels.

The main reason is to improve readability for both the translator and developer.
