Bug #: 40250
Summary: plural: broken in Vietnamese (CLDR?)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20-git
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Change I58a9cdfe60c7b9027bf031c91370472054f04ae2 made MediaWiki rely on CLDR
data for plural rules (see languages/data/plurals.xml). CLDR apparently lists
Vietnamese as having no plurals. While it’s true that Vietnamese doesn’t
inflect for plurals, the language does absolutely have the concept of plural
number. Plurals are typically marked by “các” or “những” in front of the noun.
MediaWiki’s Vietnamese localization uses the plural: magic word extensively,
just as the English localization does, to add these markers in the “many” case
or omit the number 1 in the “one” case. These usages are now broken throughout
the interface. The rules for Vietnamese should be overwritten in
plurals-mediawiki.xml to be identical to that of English:
<pluralRule count="one">n is 1</pluralRule>
Please note this requirement when implementing the JavaScript plural parser.
