Description
## Situation
Having angular applications where ngx-translate is used as translation handler, the basic JSON output is used as translation resource. This itself does not support pluralization. Therefore, plug-ins are available to properly handle this based on ICU MessageFormat.
## Request
In order to use ngx-translate with proper pluralization, the schema needs to follow MessageFormat according ICU. Reference:
- NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/messageformat
- github: https://github.com/messageformat/messageformat
- https://messageformat.github.io/messageformat/
### Example
English source
```json
{
"TIMECOUNT": {
"YEAR": "{count, plural, one{year} other{years}}"
}
}
```
Czech translation
```json
{
"TIMECOUNT": {
"YEAR": "{count, plural, one{rok} few{roky} other{let}}"
}
}
```
### Requires
- importer / exporter for MessageFormat schema as JSON with Weblate
