Author: tom[at]compton.nu The activerecord.errors.template.header resource in vendor/plugins/rails-i18n/locale/sl.rb needs fixing to have the extra keys. I've hacked it for now by copying the :other key but you'll need to fix it properly. Also I don't know if the globalize2 people would be interested in having the custom pluralizer upstream? |

Author: StefanB Tnx for putting it in, seems to wokr fine, but some additional translations are needed if i understand the error message "Error contacting gazetteer.openstreetmap.org: uninitialized constant Globalize::Backend::Pluralizing::InvalidPluralizationData" correctly. Will check and add the missing ones later today. |

Currently ruby backend (with globalize2 and rails-i18n plugins) supports pluralization into only 3 forms, namely ":zero" ":one" and ":other", which is ok for English and perhaps some other languages.
It is not suitable for dynamically switching languages, serving several languages with different pluralizaton formula at the same time.
Specifically, pluralization formula for Slovenian should be something like:
backend.add_pluralizer :sl, lambda{|c|
c == 0 ? :zero : c%100 == 1 ? :one : c%100 == 2 ? :two : (3..4).include?(c%100) ? :few : :other
}
but there is no place to put it to have an effect, and not break current English website at the same time.
