.plural( value )

It supports the creation of internationalized messages with plural inflection by returning the value's plural group: zero, one, two, few, many, or other. For comparison:

	en (English)	ru (Russian)	ar (Arabic)
.plural( 0 )	other	many	zero
.plural( 1 )	one	one	one
.plural( 2 )	other	few	two
.plural( 3 )	other	few	few
.plural( 5 )	other	many	few

Important: Use .pluralGenerator() instead when using this function two or more times, for improved performance.

Parameters

value

A Number for which to return the plural group.

Example

Prior to using any plural method, you must load supplemental/plurals.json. Read CLDR content if you need more information.

You can use the static method Globalize.plural(), which uses the default locale.

Globalize.locale( "en" );

Globalize.plural( 0 ); // "other"

Globalize.plural( 1 ); // "one"

Globalize.plural( 2 ); // "other"

You can use the instance method .plural(), which uses the instance locale.

var zh = Globalize( "zh" );

zh.plural( 1 ); // "other"
