Unit prefixes

In some languages inflections pluralize differently with and without unit prefix. For example, in french language "1.2M" pluralizes differently from "1 200 000".

If unit fixes are used, then argument must first be presented to .Pluralize(format, arguments) in compat decimal format "1.2c6", and then to .Print(format, arguments) with the unit prefixed argument "1,2M".

// Create localization context
ILocalization localization = Localization.CreateDefault();
// Localize to 'fr' 
ILocalizedText pommes = localization.LocalizedTextCached[("fr", "Namespace.Apples")];

// 1200000
string print = pommes.Pluralize(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, new object[] { "1200000" }).Print(null, new object[] { "1200000" });
WriteLine(print); // "Vous avez 1200000 pommes."

// 1,2M
print = pommes.Pluralize(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, new object[] { "1.2c6" }).Print(null, new object[] { "1,2M" });
WriteLine(print); // "Vous avez 1,2M de pommes."

Example: Resources/fr/Namespace.l.yaml

TemplateFormat: Brace
PluralRules: Unicode.CLDR41

French:
- Culture: fr
  Items:
  - Key: Namespace.Apples
    Cases:
    - Text: "Tu n'as pas de pommes."
      Plurals: "0:cardinal:zero"
    - Text: "Vous avez une pomme."
      Plurals: "0:cardinal:one"
    - Text: "Vous avez {0} de pommes."
      Plurals: "0:cardinal:many"
    - Text: "Vous avez {0} pommes."
      Plurals: "0:cardinal:other"

Note

Avalanche.Localization does not have utilities for printing and parsing SI units, and therefore the compacted decimal format must be formulated by the caller.

            // </01>
        }
