Django 2 by Example

Plural forms in translations

For plural forms, you can use ngettext() and ngettext_lazy(). These functions translate singular and plural forms depending on an argument that indicates the number of objects. The following example shows how to use them:

output = ngettext('there is %(count)d product',                  'there are %(count)d products',                  count) % {'count': count}

Now that you know the basics about translating literals in our Python code, it's time to apply translations to our project.
