Question on plurals about fbt

[jrwats]

The magic is tucked away in translations actually (we need to improve our documentation surrounding this). The CLDR number type corresponding to "RU" is IntlCLDRNumberType30. A translator can variate your individual source for a translation for any given token in the source. In the example's case, this would be {number of likes} in "You have {number of likes} likes on your photos". So we could have 3 separate translations for each variation: ONE, FEW, or MANY.

You can see some examples of gender variations for the hidden token, __viewer_gender__ in our translation_input.json.

I also suspect we're missing number variations in our Arabic translation for d47b9415c39a6e5e042244d77c23bb13, but I'm checking on that internally.

I'll work on making this clearer in documentation!

You can see all the variation types available for any given translation leaf here:

OK. Pulled in more accurate AR translations to highlight number variations. https://github.com/facebookincubator/fbt/blob/master/demo-app/translation_input.json#L1932-L1979
You can see how they are variated in the demo itself as well.

Let me know if you have any more questions around this!
