Plural question

[MarcVanDaele90]

The readme on https://github.com/marcglasberg/i18n_extension contains the following examples

print("There is 1 item".plural(0)); // Prints 'There are no items' print("There is 1 item".plural(1)); // Prints 'There is 1 item' print("There is 1 item".plural(2)); // Prints 'There are 2 items'

Shouldn't these be

print("There is %d item".plural(0)); // Prints 'There are no items' print("There is %d item".plural(1)); // Prints 'There is 1 item' print("There is %d item".plural(2)); // Prints 'There are 2 items'

At least, according to my observations, the second form works while the first one doesn't.

Both work. The %d will be applied to the translation. For example, using the one on the top, your translations can be:

static var _t = Translations("en_us") +
  {
    "en_us": "There is 1 item"
        .zero("There are no items")
        .one("There is 1 item")
        .two("There are a couple of items")
        .many("There are %d items")
        .times(12, "There are a dozen items")
  };

As you can see above, only the many translation uses the %d.

But you can also use the other one:

static var _t = Translations("en_us") +
  {
    "en_us": "There is %d item"
        .zero("There are %d items")
        .one("There is %d item")
        .many("There are %d items")
  };

Does that answer your question?
