i18next plural form missing in Json response

[phipic]

Describe the issue

Hi,

I am using i18next format for my translations and pluralizations. I added some translation keys for pluralizations. Always one without suffix and one with the _plural suffix. I am updating the translations by using the REST API.

Pushing the translations works as expected.
Also the UI shows the translation inputs as correct, for language de always one input for singular and one for plural in one form.

I am using the REST API for pulling the translations and now some unexpected behavior appears.

When I am trying to fetch the Json file with get to https://some-base-url.com/api/translations/component-123/app/de/file/ the _plural translations do exist in response. But when I am using the format=json parameter for the dotted notation the _plural field is missing.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thank you for your help. BR Philipp

If you want to create plural string, use the API directly - pass value=["singular", "plural"]. See https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/api.html#post--api-translations-(string-project)-(string-component)-(string-language)-units-

Thank you for your reply. But creating plural forms works as expected. But when requesting the translations by using the rest api with the query parameter format=json the plural form is missing. Without using the query param format=json the response holds the plural fields.

The plain JSON format does not support plurals, see https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/formats.html#translation-types-capabilities
