Hello hello, Seam has nice way of handling i18n by the usage of #{messages.key}, with nice support for param passing to messages (eg. #{stuff.name} in the value ). Now i'm trying to implement something that would allow us to construct grammatically correct messages regarding plurals. I just started to study this so the first question is: does Seam already has something that could be used to archieve this? Fast googling revealed not too many resources about the issue. 1. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/format/choiceFormat.html I came up with couple bad ideas how to tackle this. 1. Use Server side JavaScript/something with logic constructs inside the properties files. Like found_num_targets=switch #{foundTargets.rowCount}: { | case 0: return "No targets found"; // nothing | case 1: return "Found 1 target"; // one | default: return "Found #{foundTargets.rowCount} targets"; // multiple | } | pros: Allows you to do almost anything cons: well... it's just stupid ( and likely hard to get it right) 2. Use "smart" concatenation with the key plus some added logic somewhere. | <b>#{messages.found_num_targets_#{foundTargets.rowCount}}</b> | and then in properties file we have: | found_num_targets_0=No targets found | found_num_targets_1=Found 1 target | found_num_targets_2=Found #{foundTargets.rowCount} targets | etc,-10,-1,0 maps to 0; 1 maps to 1; 2,3,4,etc maps to 2 pros: seems clean enough cons: requires multiple keys in property file, maybe hard on the parsing (with #{} in the key part}. Could #{messages.['found_num_targets_#{foundTargets.rowCount}']} work? If so, it's starting to look pretty ugly.. Anyone dealt the "plural" issue any other ways?
