On: Localizing “Papers, Please” (2014)

This article makes me unreasonably glad to be working in a framework (Django) with good i18n tooling and few special needs re: textual images.

Django solves the pluralizing issues (with some limitations) but it won't (can't) solve gender issues in translation.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins...

It doesn't help when the plural is 1/2/many or something different (example: Arabic/Icelandic, etc) http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/localization-guide/e...

Django provides ungettext for the pluralizing problem, and pgettext, if implemented conscientiously, for the gender problem.
