[PM-25483] Missing plural forms

[mKoonrad]

Steps To Reproduce

In many languages, there is more than one plural form. App currently does not support plural forms. There is no way to translate some strings correctly. You need to add full support for plurals. Then Crowdin translator will have opportunity to translate plurals in specific country format.

Example English:
1 character
2 characters,
10 characters
etc.

Polish:
1 znak
2 znaki
5 znaków

Expected Result

Adding plural forms for following strings using Localizable.stringsdict file:

ios/BitwardenResources/Localizations/en.lproj/Localizable.strings

Line 394 in 713f8b5

"PasswordExposed" = "This password has been exposed %1$@ time(s) in data breaches. You should change it.";

ios/BitwardenResources/Localizations/en.lproj/Localizable.strings

Line 982 in 713f8b5

"XCharacters" = "%1$@ Characters";

ios/BitwardenResources/Localizations/en.lproj/Localizable.strings

Line 1097 in 713f8b5

"ItemsSuccessfullyImported" = "%1$@ items successfully imported";

ios/BitwardenResources/Localizations/en.lproj/Localizable.strings

Line 1119 in 713f8b5

"XItems" = "%1$@ items";

Actual Result

Missing plural forms. Can't translate some strings correctly.

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Thank you for your report! We use Crowdin to manage our translations, and these are commonly done by our amazing translation community!

Please take a look at the localization section of our contributing ​documentation for further information.

New translations can be added, or existing ones can be up-/down-voted.

Hello @cylayabw 👋 Please reopen issue. You don't understand issue. There is no any magic Crowdin feature to add plurals to any uploaded simple strings. You must add support for it inside your original code! For now, you are uploading just simple strings. You must upload strings in plural format. Even proofreaders and managers can't add plurals for normal strings inside Crowdin service.

Current Crowdin flow:

Should be (example from [PM-25133 Plural forms #5773](bitwarden/android#5773) from Android repo with added plurals):

It can't be fixed outside code.

[mKoonrad]

Maybe @SaintPatrck could reopen this issue? Patrick, you worked with plurals in Android repo. Maybe you (as part of Bitwarden team) could explain to your colleagues that this issue is code-related.

This is a known issue, and something we've been discussing internally and working towards a solution.

[mKoonrad]

@KatherineInCode I know, so I think that issue should be open.

[KatherineInCode]

I now have a PR out there for seeing what this would look like if we were to use stringsdicts to enable pluralization (instead of migrating to String Catalogs or other options). However, there is still additional discussion for us to have internally regarding what path to actually take this regard.

[mKoonrad]

I will follow this PR as "discussion" on solution. Thank you for your research!
