MessageFormat: Unicode standard for localizable message strings
```
> How does layering pt_BR on pt_PT work?
MF does not prescribe fallback behavior. It also more popular to treat each locale as "complete" and fill "gaps" at build time. So at runtime you have `pt-BR` which has pt-BR strings and missing ones "completed" from `pt` (parent locale).
Fluent has a "resource manager" (simple one like this: https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/tree/main/fluent-... or more complex like Mozilla L10nRegistry), which can fallback at runtime, allowing for what we call "partial locales" which can roll out to production with gaps and the resource manager will fetch the fallback strings from the parent locale.

If you and your users are happy with gettext, none!
If either of those groups complain, there may be many:

> Typical printf usage is imperative and additive:

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.)

New internationalization plugin for Vue - fluent-vue
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.

What they don’t tell you when you translate your app
I think Mozilla's translation system called Fluent can handle that.

4 Difficulties You Might Encounter When Using vue-i18n
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.

> I'm also not sold on the whole "HTML-style error-recovery"
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.
