Description

The timeTo() method contains the following localized strings:

* Wt.WDateTime.second: one second
* Wt.WDateTime.seconds: {1} seconds The placeholder {1} will 
  be replaced by the actual number of seconds. The same keys also 
  exist for minutes, hours, days, weeks, monts and years.

There are 3 cases in russian:

for 1, 21, 101 (1 секунда - 1 second)
for 2-4, 22-24, 102-104 (22 секунды - 22 seconds)
for 5-20, 25-30 (10 секунд - 10 seconds)

Is there any way to use timeTo() with russian?

Hello Starius,

You are perhaps working on internationalization of your application.

May be we can help each other by adding an additional language to our applications ( I am fluent in french and you are fluent in Russian )

Maybe library should use this or same tool and automatically provide properly plural form depending on using language

For example, xml-file:

English:
    <message id='posts'>
        <plural case='s'>There is 1 post</plural>
        <plural case='p'>There are {1} posts</plural>
    <message>

Russian:
    <message id='posts'>
        <plural case='s1'>1 запись</plural>
        <plural case='m2'>{1} записи</plural>
        <plural case='m5'>{1} записей</plural>
    <message>

Maybe plural forms should be excluded from c code of library users and accumulated in xml-files

Hey Starius,

The gettext way of dealing with this is interesting, and your syntax could work.

I guess we could foresee that WString::trn(const char *, int n) is used instead of WString::tr(const char *) to consider tags ?
