plural-branches ​

Warning · A plural of vue-i18n does not have the branches of the source.

git8n check reports this rule as a warning. It fails only past --max-warnings.

Why it matters ​

vue-i18n picks a branch of no car | one car | {count} cars by the number of its branches: with 2, the first is for 1; with 3, the first is for 0 and the second for 1. A translation with other branches shows the wrong one. Only a source with branches is read as a plural, and a text with an ICU choice is never one. The rule runs with --syntax vue-i18n only.

What to do ​

Write as many branches as the source, separated by |. Write {'|'} for a | that is text. If the application sets pluralRules for this language, its number of branches can differ: --max-warnings lets a number of warnings pass.
