Using plural with multiple parameters

Hey

I just downloaded the new version with plural support and was trying to implement it. I just wanted to be sure if I was running into a limitation or if there's another way to do it.

I have a label like so: You got X in Y tries

This would then have the following keys in English:
You got X in Plural tries
You got X in Singular try
You got X in Zero tries

Now given that X can be a singular or plural number will both X and Y have to be singular for it to be registered as singular?

Hi,
Because of how many combinations can be to correctly handling plurals for several parameters (e.g. You got X (POINT/POINTS) in Y (TRY/TRIES)), the plugin is currently only using the first parameter to determine the plural type.
So, in your case, if you X is plural, you will get 'You got X in Y tries', and 'You got X in Y try' if X is singular, no matter whatever Y is plural or singular.

If you instead want to handle plurals just for the Y and ignore the X, you will have to use a localization callback .

Just make Y the only parameter, and then replace X in your callback.

For example, the translation will be 'You got <X> in {[Y]} tries".
When translating that, the plugin will replace {[Y]} automatically, and then will call the Callback, where you can do:
mainTranslation.Replace("<X>", 5);

Hope that helps,
Frank
