Description
Enables detection of pluralized keys. All matching keys will be persisted as pluralized keys.
Pluralization
This format uses named categories to identify the different pluralizations of a key. The following categories are reserved for pluralization:
.zero | .one | .two | .few | .many | .other
Example key names:
inbox.messages.notification.one
inbox.messages.notification.other
This way pluralized keys can be identified, persisted and marked accordingly.
