And unless you want your translator to hate you, you really, really mustn’t do this in user-facing output.

(OK, you can if you really want to and if you’re ready to give them the same tools[1], but it won’t be simple. Although I’m unaware of any professional translators supporting this either—most use a CAT, and the Fluent approach ignores those.)

I wrote one for creating a Fluent library for PHP.

No. fluent-vue uses Fluent syntax from Mozilla https://projectfluent.org/. Which, I would say is just as powerful as ICU but is much more readable.

I think Mozilla's translation system called Fluent can handle that.

After few months of frustration with trying to use the "de-facto" internationalization library for Vue.js - vue-i18n, I've decided it is time to replace it. And that is why I have created fluent-vue. I will write more about it and Fluent syntax it uses in my following blog posts.

Having used and written a parser for a similar recoverable localization language (https://projectfluent.org/) I'm sold on it.

It makes a lot of things easier. It's kinda like adding trailing comma to lists. It's both boon when writing lists by hand and generating it via code.

Here is Mozilla's localization platform: https://pontoon.mozilla.org/

I submitted a suggestion on https://pontoon.mozilla.org/ for that.

Pontoon: "Pontoon is a translation management system used and developed by the Mozilla localization community. It specializes in open source localization that is driven by the community and uses version-control systems for storing translations."

I was looking for something simple like Mozilla Pontoon where I can just upload the strings that I need translated and people can submit translations.
