About [[EOL:Website-results offset/en]]
Results %{from} - %{to} of %{total} for %{for}
Please document context and parameters. If any of the parameters are numbers, plural support should be added.
Three are numerical (from, to, total). Because there are multiple numerical values, how do you suggest coding this? I'm not familiar with a convention to handle multiple pluralizations.
(The context is search results.)
I'd love to know what languages with complex pluralization would do. At least in English, "Results 1 - 1 of 1 for Tiger" would be considered "acceptable if slightly awkward" and is certainly something one sees often in the wild. I suppose we could pluralize on "total" only, so one would receive "Result 1 for Tiger" vs "Results 1 - 2 of 2 for Tiger", and so on. But, really, what's being pluralized is the index of the set itself, yes? Meaning, the pluralization rule will always be either 1 (only one result, thus one index) or 2 (there are two indexes of results given). ...Unless there are languages (perhaps Chinese) where the plural of the prepositional phrase is also important: "of 100" vs "of 1" vs "of 2" or what have you. I'm not aware, though. And if that's the case, again: I'm not sure how to code this.
This case seems to be very similar to MediaWiki's message Showingresultsheader ("{{PLURAL:$5|Result <strong>$1</strong> of <strong>$3</strong>|Results <strong>$1 - $2</strong> of <strong>$3</strong>}} for <strong>$4</strong>"). Looks like you may be able to use this in Rails, too.
