Description

We need to add plural validators for various projects based on,

Ruby
Gettext
SmartFormat

Plural validator should:

Not allow plural if the source does not have it
Require plural unless the language has only 1 plural form (unless enforced by the file format / software using it)
Check that required forms are provided for each plural instance

Do you have an example of a project that uses plurals in Python?

Pginer-WMF moved this task from Backlog to In Review on the Language-Team (Language-2019-October-December) board.

I had written a script that scrapes plural forms from rails-i18n repository. The results are in P9464.

Maybe someone wants to compare these against the CLDR plurals to see if there are differences. If not, I think the UnicodePlural class is sufficient.

I'm currently working on the SmartFormat validator used by DiscordWikiBot.
