But this requires actually writing a little code to handle that.
Gettext .po files can handle plurals directly without needing to
write any extra code by hand.
okey...that's a nice thing but in the big picture I would say it's a
minor one.
> What else does gettext do ?
Another nice thing about gettext is that the original English strings
are kept in the source file - no need to use string labels for strings.
this just translates to "use the original string as the key" practice,
correct ?
