i18n_extension:getstrings and plural

[chriscdn]

I'm using i18n_extension:getstrings to generate a .pot file. What I can't figure out is how to provide a plural string. For example, in my .dart file I have this:

String message = '%d day'.plural(days)

This gets extracted into the .pot file as follows:

msgctxt "..."
msgid "%d day"
msgid_plural "%d day"
msgstr[0] ""

Ideally, I'd like the third line to be:

msgid_plural "%d days"

Is this a limitation of the parser, or am I missing something?

Maybe @bauerj can help answering? He's the creator of the getstrings helper.

Sorry, but this is currently just not implemented. See #102 (Proposal 2) for some more information.

@bauerj Should I close this? Is it already tracked there?

[bauerj]

I guess so, yes.

If it matters, I worked around the issue with the following extension:

extension Pluralize on String {
  String pluralize(int i, String pluralText) {
    if (i == 1) {
      return this.fill([i]);
    } else {
      return pluralText.fill([i]);
    }
  }
}

Usage:

return "%s day".i18n.pluralize(durationDays, "%s days".i18n);

Thanks for the great package!
