Nil pointer while translating min/gt in ru_RU locale

[phpinfo]

Package version eg. v8, v9:

github.com/go-playground/validator/v10 v10.2.0 github.com/go-playground/locales v0.13.0 github.com/go-playground/universal-translator v0.17.0

Issue, Question or Enhancement:

Trying to add validation with plurals in errors in ru_RU locale. Got nil pointer panic. What am I doing wrong?

Code sample, to showcase or reproduce:

This code leads to panic:

package main

import (
    "github.com/go-playground/locales/ru_RU"
    "github.com/go-playground/universal-translator"
    "github.com/go-playground/validator/v10"
    "github.com/go-playground/validator/v10/translations/ru"
    "log"
)

type S struct {
    Field string `validate:"gt=2"`
}

func main() {
    locale := ru_RU.New()
    uni := ut.New(locale, locale)
    trans, _ := uni.GetTranslator(locale.Locale())

    validate := validator.New()
    _ = ru.RegisterDefaultTranslations(validate, trans)

    a := &S{
        Field: "a",
    }

    err := validate.Struct(a)
    if err != nil {
        for _, e := range err.(validator.ValidationErrors) {
            log.Println(e.Translate(trans))
        }
    }
}

Panic:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0x10c9cc2]

The same code in en_GB locale works fine:

package main

import (
    "github.com/go-playground/locales/en_GB"
    "github.com/go-playground/universal-translator"
    "github.com/go-playground/validator/v10"
    "github.com/go-playground/validator/v10/translations/en"
    "log"
)

type S struct {
    Field string `validate:"gt=2"`
}

func main() {
    locale := en_GB.New()
    uni := ut.New(locale, locale)
    trans, _ := uni.GetTranslator(locale.Locale())

    validate := validator.New()
    _ = en.RegisterDefaultTranslations(validate, trans)

    a := &S{
        Field: "a",
    }

    err := validate.Struct(a)
    if err != nil {
        for _, e := range err.(validator.ValidationErrors) {
            log.Println(e.Translate(trans))
        }
    }
}

Result:

2020/03/20 10:27:43 Field must be greater than 2 characters in length

Face the same problem. Also when use FR locale, it translate to russian.

r := fr.New()
uni := ut.New(r, r)
trans,  _ := uni.GetTranslator(r.Locale())
ru_def.RegisterDefaultTranslations(v.validator, trans)

errs := v.validator.Struct(s).(validator.ValidationErrors)

fmt.Println(errs.Translate(trans))
return errs

Output: map[CreateUserRequest.Email:Email должен быть email адресом CreateUserRequest.PhoneNumber:PhoneNumber должен быть длиной в 12 символы]

@deankarn Could you check this issue up, please?

Hi,

I've tried to check the issue but could not replicate.

Tested it with en_GB, pt_PT, fr_FR and ru_RU.

The output of go test ./... -v is:

=== RUN   Test593
2022/01/14 22:33:08 Field deve conter mais de 2 caracteres
2022/01/14 22:33:08 Field must be greater than 2 characters in length
2022/01/14 22:33:08 Field должен быть длиннее 2 символов
2022/01/14 22:33:08 Field doit avoir une taille supérieur à 2 caractères
--- PASS: Test593 (0.00s)
PASS
