Comment (by Luke Plant):
For anyone still interested in this, Mozilla has created a localisation
framework that is aimed at solving all these kinds of gender/case/etc.
problems, as well as plurals. If/when this issue is fixed -
https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/issues/80 - it should have enough
for our needs in terms of a spec.
You need to look at:
- http://l20n.org/
- http://projectfluent.org/
At the time of writing, it seems that Mozilla is using it a lot for
internal projects and migrating there other systems to it, and have begun
the process of making it more usable by others. It includes at least one
HTML/DOM/JS based way of rendering different translations. To generate
translations server side in Python, we would need something different, and
the Python bindings are at an early stage of development it seems.
Mozilla provide some tooling around it e.g. https://pontoon.mozilla.org/
but I haven't been able to find any other service that shows a knowledge
of the new file format (.ftl files).
It is clearly not yet mature enough for our usage. Whether it will be
suitable for us in the future is also a big question - it would mean
moving away from GNU gettext entirely, which could be a huge effort.
However, rewriting .po files into FTL should be entirely scriptable.
