<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>Our Japanese translators are asking me how to translate the
following string resource:</p>
<p>{folderCount, plural, one {Remove yourself from this shared
folder.} other {Remove yourself from these shared folders.}}</p>
<p>Our translation management system only allows for the "other"
case in Japanese because it follows the CLDR rules as documented
in common/supplemental/plurals.xml. The difficult thing is that
the two English strings should be translated differently. Counters
may not have plurals in Japanese, but demonstratives like "this",
"these", "that" and "those" do.<br>
</p>
<p>What the translators would like is to do a translation like this:<br>
</p>
<p>{folderCount, plural, one {<b>この</b>共有フォルダから自分を削除します。} other {<b>これらの</b>共有フォルダから自分を削除します。}}</p>
<p>(Bold added by me to highlight the translations of "this" and
"these".)<br>
</p>
<p>Is there any way we can revisit the plural categories for
Japanese for cases like this? ie. add the "one" category for
Japanese specifically for strings with demonstrative words in
them?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
</p>
<p>Edwin<br>
