[TRANSLATION] Introduce plurals for better UX

[llama-0]

Please confirm the following

• I checked the current issues for duplicate problems

What do you want to be added or improved?

Add plurals.

Why do you need it?

• Different languages have different rules for grammatical agreement with quantity. So in order to translate app to different languages we need to add support for this quantity strings.
  Example:
  En - 1 day, 4 days, 5 days
  Ru - 1 день, 4 дня, 5 дней
• With this feature we'll achieve better UX

How do you imagine it?

Here is a sample project for En-Ru to highlight what plurals are and how to work with them. Anyone can use it as a reference.
Here are official docs
I'll attach a list of candidates for plurals from the Ivy Wallet project later, based on Russian translation. Feel free to check it for other languages and add your suggestions.

the project currently contains plural words

for example:

https://github.com/ILIYANGERMANOV/ivy-wallet/blob/00f595181648f782ec88c9d7f6e18f8145d21fcd/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L419
https://github.com/ILIYANGERMANOV/ivy-wallet/blob/00f595181648f782ec88c9d7f6e18f8145d21fcd/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L418

and others more.

but I don't understand if you mean the implementation of these, which I'm not very aware of.

Hi, @Pkcarreno! It's not about words itself, it's about different representation of such words in different languages. For some languages there are more than 2 words for single and multiple.
Look at the example below
.../values/strings.xml
.../values-ru/strings.xml
So, for example, for a word "day" ("день") it would be:

• English
  • 1 day
  • many (2, 5, 10, 100000, etc) days
• Russian
  • 1 день
  • 2..4 дня
  • 5..20 дней
  • 21 день (notice, the end of the number is 1, so the representation is recurring)
  • 22 дня (same here for 2..4)
  • 25 дней (same here for 5..0)
    etc.

If you follow the link to official documentation, the issue should be clear. If not, please leave a comment, and we'll discuss it in more details, and I'll dig up some linguistic terminology.
