Improve selector usages in the wiki
# ✅ All variants are language-specific. The [0] variant adds
# flavor to the translation. The default variant still works
# for all values of the selector, even if "0 new notifications"
# sounds a bit off.
new-notifications =
{ $num ->
[0] No new notifications.
[one] New notification.
*[other] { $num } new notifications.
}
Good Practices shows this example as good practice, which is better than other ones, but fluent code itself might give the wrong impression. [one]
doesn't generally mean 1
. Just like [few]
doesn't mean "something between 2 and 5".
[one]
means "all numbers that inflate by the same rules like number 1", which in English corresponds to the number 1, but that's just a happy accident if any, and examples should use [1]
.
Tangentially, there's much more examples of different functionality on the Mozilla localization docs. Maybe wouldn't be needed if more of that was here
