# this version is easier to read
Displaying {count} { count, plural,
  one {character}
  other {characters}
}.

# new lines don't have meaning so this also works
Displaying {count} { count, plural, one {character} other {characters} }.

A Short Guide to i18n Support

Internationalization (i18n) support in webapps is important, but I'm learning that it's not simple to do. Here are some quick guidelines if you're new to it.

The ICU Message Format

The most basic thing you can do to support i18n is to use a format that supports "pluralization." For instance, if a string in English is "There are {count} dogs", you'll want it to read something like:

function startpg {
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
}

function stoppg {
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast
}

import simpleResource from 'redux-simple-resource';

const books = simpleResource('book', {
  // Maybe not necessary
  pluralForm: 'books',

  actions: {
    // Pass `false` to turn it off. Default is `true`
    create: false,
    // Pass an object to configure the xhr request.
