Plural in pt and pt-BR (again)

CLOSED This issue is closed

Moved to issue tracker (but the correct one is CLDR).

Plural in pt and pt-BR should be:

• 1 = single,
• everything else = plural.

In particular, 0 should be plural. There have been various requests to fix it for pt and pt-BR in the past.

• translatewiki.net
• Phabricator T25707
• Phabricator T27507
• Phabricator T31299

Despite the above fixes, the problem seems to have resurfaced at translatewiki.net, both for pt and pt-BR. This can be replicated by setting your language to either and then searching a non-existing string in Special:SearchTranslations. It yields: "Foi encontrado um resultado" (one result found), for both languages. {{PLURAL}} is again returning false for number 0, which should be plural.

May this have a local cause and fix, or should it be reported in Phabricator?
