Function Details

### get_plural(locale=`'``de_DE``'`)

A tuple with the information catalogs need to perform proper pluralization. The first item of the tuple is the number of plural forms, the second the plural expression.

    >>> get_plural(locale='en')
    (2, '(n != 1)')
    >>> get_plural(locale='ga')
    (3, '(n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2)')

The object returned is a special tuple with additional members:

    >>> tup = get_plural("ja")
    >>> tup.num_plurals
    1
    >>> tup.plural_expr
    '0'
    >>> tup.plural_forms
    'npurals=1; plural=0'

Converting the tuple into a string prints the plural forms for a gettext catalog:

    >>> str(tup)
    'npurals=1; plural=0'
