RE: [xliff] Plural forms and XLIFF

[Steven R Loomis <srloomis@us.ibm.com>]

In the ICU implementation of plurals, ICU docs do not recommend using substrings (subflows) but separate translated elements.  In the ICU version of ChoiceFormat, ChoiceFormat is officially deprecated.  http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages#TOC-Complex-Argument-Types

Hi Rodolfo,

Yes, PO plural forms are different, but ChoiceFormat is about plural forms too (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/choiceFormat.html).
And, I agree, it is also about sub-flows.

The question the SC has is: How would one represent this and does the inline codes need more than the simple subflows attribute to handle it? (or should one even uses sub-flows in this case? Maybe that makes thing just more complicated than they need to be).

Cheers,
