what the hell is i18next and how do i deal with {count, plural, one {# other} other {# others}} you follow

nicole 🔜 XVI P.I.W.O. @mkljczk@twojstary.gay

@rain it only makes sense to specify other for Ukrainian when it's possible for the number to be decimal (though i prefer specifying other instead of many)

@mkljczk hmmm i thought i came up with an example when thinking about this which would have different words in other and many but i can't remember now, maybe i'm misremembering something

@rain A bit of googling found this: jsfiddle.net/6bpxsgd4

Bottom-right: Enter "uk" for the language code and it will show you the rules for one, few and many.

In short: It's language dependent and for Ukrainian use "one" for the ones, "few" for the 2-4s and "many" for the rest.

@CatboyCody i've since then found this github issue
github.com/i18next/i18next/issues/1995
with the dev listing the table, which also includes other for floats and 10, 100 etc.
