I recently used this mechanism in my app. It's localized for Russian, where plurals conjugate (or is it congregate?) depending on the quantity: 2 through 4 have one ending, 5 and greater have another. Quantities like 22, 32, 123..2 are the same as just 2, except for 12 through 20. Quantities ending with a 1 are same as singular. Perhaps Czech is similarly complex.
I ended up changing the way the message is worded, using an abbreviation to sidestep this issue. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 21.09.2010 2:24 пользователь "Greg Giacovelli" <[email protected]> написал: This feature has been around since cupcake, however it has always been broken. Bugs like, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8287, have been posted. The things I am finding wrong with this is that it's completely undocumented, and only works for english and czech in undefined ways. The code suggests that the current implementation doesn't meet the standards of what is desired and hasn't been changed since it was added. However going forward is it better to just not use this functionality and use a custom one off localization scheme for each application? Has everyone just been rolling their own plural mechanism? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
