Method: Air18n::ClassMethods#pluralize

Defined in:
lib/air18n/class_methods.rb

#pluralize(count, singular, plural = nil) ⇒ Object

Like ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#pluralize, except requires that ‘count’ be a real number, not a string.

ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#pluralize is inherently English-centric. So this method is too, and assumes that the default locale’s plural forms are like “%smart_count count-is-one-form;%smart_count everything-else-form”.

Pass in nil for the count if you want to get the default text (for example, if you will be interpolating the count into the text in the front-end.) For example:

I18n.pluralize(nil, 'Review')
  => '%{smart_count} Review||||%{smart_count} Reviews'

Raises:

  • (TypeError)
