Enhancement - improve hints for plural forms #6115

Open leonardcj opened 7 years ago

leonardcj commented 7 years ago

The idea is to display plural equation fragments when showing multiple boxes so localizers know what plural 0, plural 1 and plural 2 are supposed to be.

So for a language like Czech nplurals=3; plural=(n==1) ? 0 : (n>=2 && n<=4) ? 1 : 2;

You would have three boxes, each tagged to show what the right part of the plural equation is.

It would help a lot for the Baltic and Eastern European languages.

@leonardcj this is what current master displays for Plurals

I think it may be more useful if we were able to display the examples as exist in CLDR plurals.

The current display is improved from prior versions for sure. It gets a little trickier when you have more than two nplurals because the English POT text will only provide you with two forms.
