### Plurals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each translation file has a plural formula defined. This formula is used to determine wether a plural for the current number is needed. For languages with multiple plurals, the formula determine which plural form is the right one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can get the formula for your language from https://localization-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/l10n/pluralforms.html.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The formula need to be adjusted to be valid php code. Do not hesitate to ask for an adjusted formula in the bugtracker.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need to create a list of strings for terms that have a plural. For example the plural for the English translation looks like the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
'plural' => function($n) { return ($n != 1); },
|
||||||
|
'After %d day' => array('After %d day', 'After %d days'),
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||

How to add new translated text in the application?
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Translations are displayed with the following functions in the source code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `t()`: escaped HTML text
|
||||||
|
- `tne()`: displayed with no escaping
|
||||||
|
- `dt()`: date using `strftime()` formats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always use the english version in the source code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

How to find missing translations in the applications?
|
||||||

From a Unix shell run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
./scripts/find-strings.sh
|
||||||

```

||||||
