Pluralization in the Translation Management Platform

Hi there! I am making use of the new translation management platform and was curious what the proper way to handle pluralization is. I see the existing pluralization logic: {{ pluralize count "stringForOne" "stringForMany" }} For the translation management provider, I've been able to use: {{ i18n "container.keyname" count=step.total_count }}

{
  "keyname": "{{count}} items"
}

{
  "keyname": "{{count}} items"
}

With the i18n provider, how do we make use of different keys based on how many items to use? Thank you in advance!

Hi! I am working on that. It should be part of the upcoming release. I'll keep you updated @Shaun @Shaun sorry, I was wrong. It should work for you like this: In the translation file:

  "keyWithCount": "{{count}} item",
  "keyWithCount_plural": "{{count}} items",
  "friend": "A friend",
  "friend_male": "A boyfriend",
  "friend_female": "A girlfriend"

  "keyWithCount": "{{count}} item",
  "keyWithCount_plural": "{{count}} items",
  "friend": "A friend",
  "friend_male": "A boyfriend",
  "friend_female": "A girlfriend"

In the editor, it would be used:

{{i18n "welcome.friend" context="male"}}
{{i18n "welcome.keyWithCount" count=7}}

{{i18n "welcome.friend" context="male"}}
{{i18n "welcome.keyWithCount" count=7}}
