ICU pluralisation in Android React Native app breaks if label has # about i18next-icu HOT 5 OPEN

It looks like your icu syntax is wrong... there is a missing } at the end.

Here a fixed example: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-i18next-example-forked-f3txn?file=/src/i18n.js:708-709

from i18next-icu.

hi @adrai , it was a typo mistake, syntax is correct in our code. I forgot to mention that this is working fine in iOS and Web (all share same source code), as it is working in your codesandbox, this only fails for android devices :(

Sorry, I'm not able to help... no mobile dev environment...
but if it works for ios and web, there might be an issue with the android emolator... and i18next-icu is not the root cause. 🤷‍♂️
Does it work on a real android device at least?

Hi @adrai,

Thanks for the quick response.

It just doesn't work in Android (emulator or real device) when using plurals and we include the #, but it works if using {count} , I can't find anywhere the reason why. Could you come up with any reason why would this happen?

Basically what I found is that intl-messageformat (formatJS) that is being used in your lib, needs Intl support, what it doesn't come out of the box for Android apps built in react-native. For that reason I added the polyfills provided by formatJs to cover pluralisation in Android. I asked them if they knew if could be missing any script in their lib but they indicated it should be an i18next issue.

I'll try to dig a little bit more and give you updates if anything comes up!

Did you install intl-messageformat?
npm install intl-messageformat
