Linked Pluralization

using vue 2.2.6 and vue-i18n 6.1.1

Can this be done? I’m trying to do a “action string” ex: User added 1 photo - if there are more photos i want to show “photos”

i have this

export default {
	en: {
		actions: {
			photo: 'added {count} @:photo'
		},
		photo: 'photo | photos'
	}
}

How do I pass the count parameter in a pluralized linked locale message ?

While I agree with @amertum’s point on duplicates not being a bad thing ,I don’t fully agree with the points on maintenance and other languages causing problems

In my particular use case:

// en.js
export default {
  name:            'Name',
  collection:      'Collection | Collections',
  file:            'File | Files',

  collection_name: '@:collection @:name',
  file_name:       '@:file @:name'
};

the names collection and file are used in a lot of different instances (this is only a subset) and don’t change between instances. By using the linked locale messages feature, we can prevent spelling errors by only having to enter the “general” terms once.

Next to this, additional translations can be a lot smaller by using the fallback language for the combined messages like follows:

// nl.js
export default {
  name:            'Naam',
  collection:      'Collectie | Collecties',
  file:            'Bestand | Bestanden',

  // use English fallback for collection_name & file_name
};

If the combined message doesn’t fit well in the other language, the linked locale message can be updated on a per-instance basis:

// nl.js
export default {
  name:            'Naam',
  collection:      'Collectie | Collecties',
  file:            'Bestand | Bestanden',
  
  // use English fallback for collection_name

  // Override file_name for Dutch
  file_name: '@:name van het @:file'
};

First syntax ideas:

@:apple @:apple(1) @:apple(10, { count: 10 })

OR:

@:apple @:apple:1 @:apple:10:{"count": 10}

@kazupon What are your thoughts on the matter? Would you be interested in figuring out an addition to the linked locale message syntax in order to support pluralization?
