Hello,
I would like to have a range of strings being returned using t()
function from I18n.
Example:
t(''health'', :count => 0)
# dead
t(''health'', :count => 1)
# injured
t(''health'', :count => 2)
# not well
t(''health'', :count => 3)
# so so
t(''health'', :count => 4)
# just fine
t(''health'', :count => 5)
# good
t(''health'', :count => 6)
# great
etc.
By default it only supports one and other. Is there a way to make it
work with many different counts? If not, what else could I do to make
this work?
Thanks in advance,
Hans

This is a completely inappropriate use of t(). Instead, have a helper function that takes a number and returns the appropriate string. Could be as simple as def health(count) statuses = [''dead'', ''injured'', ''not well''...] statues[count] end> > By default it only supports one and other.

But if you *do* have a legitimate need for such a feature (say, different single, dual, and plural forms, as in Arabic), then use a gettext-based solution (such as fast_gettext) instead of Rails'' own I18N backend. Among its other advantages, gettext handles different pluralizations better.
