Nice! This honestly sounds really great; coincidentally as a Czech person, the multiple plural forms have sort of been a bane of i18n for me, a surprising amount of solutions don't even take this into account at all (?!) or require dumb workarounds.
With Mozilla's experience and adherence to ideals of interoperability and openness, I can see Fluent as a solid "golden standard" solution for a great chunk of i18n needs :)
- zoul 8y agoAhoj! :) This is a perfect article that always comes to mind when talking pluralization: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Locale-Maketext/lib/Locale/Maketext/TPJ13.pod https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Locale-Maketext/lib/Lo... We Czechs have it easy!
- Tomte 8y agoGreat article! I'm always impressed by the thought going into Perl libraries. There was a presentation years ago, how Perl handled Unicode right and every other programming language didn't (with Python 3 pretty close, IIRC). Does anyone remember the URL?
- arnsholt 8y agoI think the presentation you're thinking of is Tom Christiansen's Unicode: The Good, the Bad, and the (mostly) Ugly: https://www.azabani.com/pages/gbu/ https://www.azabani.com/pages/gbu/
- Tomte 8y agoI think that's the one. Thank you!
