1476581 - [kn] Switch plural rule for Kannada from #1 to #2

Status: NEW

(Mozilla Localizations :: kn / Kannada, enhancement)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Gecko products currently use rule #1 (same as English). According to this rule, there are 2 forms:
1st form [one]: for 1
2nd form [other]: for any other number, including 0

Pontoon has the same rule as Gecko products.

According to CLDR, 0 should be treated as 1, so rule should be #2 in Gecko (n > 1)
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/dev/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html#kn

Consider this examples in English:
- there are 0 possibilities
- there is 1 possibility
- there are 2 possibilities
etc.

0 uses the same form of other numbers greater than 1.

Right now, according to Pontoon and Gecko products (Firefox, Firefox for Android, Thunderbird, etc.), your locale is using the same rule.

According to CLDR, for your locale 0 should use the same form as 1. Hoping that Google Translate is correct:
0 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳಿವೆ
1 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಇದೆ
2 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳಿವೆ
etc.

Which is correct?

The impact on product is minimal: same number of forms, and normally a special string is used for the 0 case, but it would be good to set the correct plural form.

Following is correct. 

0 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳಿವೆ
1 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಇದೆ
2 ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳಿವೆ

Thanks for the quick reply. That means that CLDR is incorrect, and 0 behaves like n > 1.

Are you aware of any online page describing plural rules for Kannada that I could reference?
