Details

string choose(string $message, int $number, string $locale)

Given a message with different plural translations separated by a pipe (|), this method returns the correct portion of the message based on the given number, locale and the pluralization rules in the message itself.

The message supports two different types of pluralization rules:

interval: {0} There are no apples|{1} There is one apple|]1,Inf] There are %count% apples indexed: There is one apple|There are %count% apples

The indexed solution can also contain labels (e.g. one: There is one apple). This is purely for making the translations more clear - it does not affect the functionality.

The two methods can also be mixed: {0} There are no apples|one: There is one apple|more: There are %count% apples

Parameters

string $message The message being translated
int $number The number of items represented for the message
string $locale The locale to use for choosing

Return Value

string

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException
