Code Sample
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>pluralized_key</key>
<dict>
<key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key>
<string>%#@localized_format_key@</string>
<key>localized_format_key</key>
<dict>
<key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key>
<string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string>
<key>NSStringFormatValueTypeKey</key>
<string>d</string>
<key>one</key>
<string>Only one pluralization found.</string>
<key>other</key>
<string>Wow, you have %s pluralizations!</string>
<key>zero</key>
<string>You have no pluralization.</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
This format should only be used to provide alternate strings for languages that have different plural rules. To specify language plural rules that can’t be represented by key-value pairs in the iOS Localizable .strings file, use a .stringsdict file.
