Translations now extends the use of plurals

[gautierchomel]

Dear translators, Thorium desktop now uses the full i18next v4 plural rules. Weblate is set up for this so you can leverage the use of them.​

• When it is relevant for a language, each plural message now shows as several related keys (like *_one, *_other, *_few, or *_many, depending on the language) and Thorium picks the right form at runtime based on the count.
• If a required plural form is missing, Thorium will display the nearest available plural or fall back to English.

Actions for translators in Weblate

• In Weblate, go to Translate → Thorium Desktop for your language. Filter to strings with plural forms (they are grouped together under the label Failing check: Same plurals.
• For each plural string, fill in all plural forms shown for your language.
• Keep variables exactly as in the source (like {{- count}}, {{- creator}}, etc.). Only change the surrounding text and word order.
• Make sure the wording matches the count:
  • *_one should sound natural when the count is 1.
  • *_other (and *_many, etc.) should sound natural for counts like 0, 2, 3, etc., based on your language’s rules.

If plural categories look incorrect for your language, or you can’t express all forms, comment in Weblate or open an issue in the Thorium repo. Mention and link the plural key.
