Django developers, I opened ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30939 and I was referred to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30439 as a duplicate. I don't understand why you need such a long formula to decide if a number is singular or plural. If it's 1 it's singular, otherwise it's plural. What's wrong about that?
If you want to define a function with 4 strings for 4 different numbers, you should define a new function and not edit ngettext_lazy and ngettext. My code which works with all Django versions up to 2.1, breaks with Django 2.2. This issue prevents me from upgrading Django to 2.2. Is this change documented in the release notes? I didn't find it there. I would like to keep using ngettext_lazy with 2 strings (when the number is either 1 or not 1) and not with 4 strings. Actually I always use plural but because similar validators used ngettext_lazy (MinLengthValidator and MaxLengthValidator in django.core.validators) I also used it in my validators. But the number I'm using is never equal to 1. You can see my code here (search for "ngettext_lazy"): https://github.com/speedy-net/speedy-net/blob/master/speedy/core/accounts/validators.py And the relevant Django code: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/validators.py#L348-L377 אורי u...@speedy.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
