Effective way to handle singular/plural word based on some collection size [closed]

Answer 1

This gets complicated in languages other than English, that inflector aims to support in the future.

I am familiar with Czech where user = uživatel and:

1 uživatel
2 uživatelé
3 uživatelé
4 uživatelé
5 uživatelů

...

You can see why programs written with hardcoded singular+plural would get un-i18n-able.

Edit:
Java11 allows you to use the following:

ChoiceFormat fmt = new ChoiceFormat("1#uživatel | 1.0< uživatelé | 4< uživatelů");
System.out.println(fmt.format(1));
System.out.println(fmt.format(4));
System.out.println(fmt.format(5));
