Pluralization

Localization texts can be pluralized for inflections of numeric parameters.

To use Unicode CLDR rules, add package reference.

Plurals "parameterName:category:case[:culture]" argument indicates which rule, category and case a Text uses.

PluralRules "ruleset" must be placed to indicate which rule version is used. Plural rules are listed here.

There are two plurality categories: "cardinal" and "ordinal". Ordinal is category for order numbers, e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd. English rules have the following 'ordinal' cases: one for first, two for second, few for third, and other for higher ordinals.
