"all" string pluralization shorthand

Chema Balsas [2023-01-30 02:48PM UTC] with 0 now acting as kind of a none key, I wonder if there could be an equivalent all in the spec for the cases where you’re showing {count} of {total} and count === total . Based on our conversation, I see how that’s suited for an if statement and probably not a true pluralzation context, but it would be sweet if this could also be somehow accounted for since it’s another variation over the string that we use to have :thinking_face:
Michael Overmeyer [2023-01-30 02:50PM UTC] So the string would change to Cancel all orders? Instead of Cancel 192 orders?
Chema Balsas [2023-01-30 03:19PM UTC] exactly!
Chema Balsas [2023-01-30 03:19PM UTC] or to all orders cancelled from 4 of 8 orders cancelled
Chema Balsas [2023-01-30 03:22PM UTC] I didn’t see this in the spec on a quick search (but I’m not familiar with it). This requiring 2 vars, I guess it could work like this: i18n.translate('localized.key', { count: countNumber, total: totalNumber. all: countNumber === totalNumber }) technically this would just hide the if , but it also keeps all the strings closer together (by meaning, if not semantically)
Michael Overmeyer [2023-01-30 03:40PM UTC] It's interesting. Not sure I'd be interested in doing that right now, given that it's niche / the first time I've heard about it. I'll log a ticket all the same so we can consider it. The 0 and 1 cases were more of a no-brainer, since it brings us closer to the CLDR spec, while this would be us inventing new conventions.
