missing translation: nl.counterpart.pluralize about counterpart

[tomatau]

OK - found the solution - I need to add this namespace manually - this isn't very clearly documented as the file links to another module - could it not be jiggled to work with the default of "one", "other", "zero" ?

I wasn't able to figure it out. Wtf, how does this damn thing works? The documentation around this is really bad.

What should be in counterpart.pluralize ?

I do something like this:

const localeDefaults = {
  counterpart: {
    pluralize: (entry, count)=> entry[
      (count === 0 && 'zero' in entry)
        ? 'zero' : (count === 1) ? 'one' : 'other'
    ],
    formats: {
      date: {
        'default':  '%a, %e. %b %Y',
        'long':     '%A, %e. %B %Y',
        'short':    '%d.%m.%y'
      },
      time: {
        'default':  '%H:%M',
        'long':     '%H:%M:%S %z',
        'short':    '%H:%M'
      },
      datetime: {
        'default':  '%a, %e. %b %Y, %H:%M',
        'long':     '%A, %e. %B %Y, %H:%M:%S %z',
        'short':    '%d.%m.%y %H:%M'
      }
    }
  }
}

const nlJSON = Object.assign(
  require('./locales/phrase.nl.json'), localeDefaults
)

counterpart.registerTranslations('nl', nlJSON);

Thank you kindly, sir! 😃

After struggling with this problem a bit (as my translations are in a json file, and functions are not serializable), I've found a simpler solution (one line) to this:

  const translator = new Counterpart.Instance();
  availableLanguages.forEach((currentLocale) => {
    translator.registerTranslations(currentLocale, translations[locale]);
  });
  translator.setLocale(locale);

  // That's it! Just add that line and all locales will use Counterpart's default
  // English locale's pluralize function. :)
  translator.setFallbackLocale('en');
