Support ICU pluralization

Feature requests

Hi!

There are many strings that come in two versions; singular and plural (example). This does not work in a lot of languages as many languages make a more granular distinction.

I want to suggest that Obsidian supports internationalization fully by implementing this spec instead of the singular vs. plural.

Thanks

I tried editing my original post a few times but it always errors. Here is my edit:

Use case or problem

This will allow for all languages to be presented grammatically in Obsidian.

Proposed solution

  • Identify which strings come in the singular vs. plural versions.
  • Write code support for internationalization. Most likely using the Intl.PluralRules API.
  • Make that code backwards-compatible to account for strings in different languages taking time to be updated.
  • Document how to create pluralized strings internally.
  • Reach out to the community to re-translate pluralized strings to their one, two, few, and many forms.

Thanks!
