Support for ICU formatting? #133

Open jruales opened 1 year ago

Is there any plan to support ICU formatting in the future? This would allow for proper translation into locales that don't use the same singular/plural convention as English. For example, Czech treats the plural differently for numbers 2-4 vs. for numbers 5 or greater. Russian uses the singular form for all numbers that end in 1, even if they are big numbers. French and Brazilian Portuguese treat 0 as singular and not as plural as English does. Here is a list of plural rules compiled by Mozilla for reference.

This is something I would like to light up but it may take some effort to do.
