Plurals Localisation

We should try to level up the localisation to a new level by localising plurals. Not sure if there is some library for .net/javascript.

Here I throw some ideas:

Plurals definitions for different languages using lambdas:

github.com/discourse/discourse

config/locales/plurals.rb

master

# frozen_string_literal: true

# generated by https://github.com/ruby-i18n/ruby-cldr

# stree-ignore
{
  af: {
    i18n: {
      plural: {
        keys: %i[one other],
        rule:
          lambda do |n|
            n = n.respond_to?(:abs) ? n.abs : ((m = n.to_s)[0] == "-" ? m[1, m.length] : m)
            n.to_f == 1 ? :one : :other
          end,
      },
    },
  },
  ak: {
    i18n: {

This is the package I think we should use:

this looks quite useful too:

What will we use server side?
