[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (VELTOOLS-113) new DisplayTool
features

>Would this work in other languages? (is there such a java function?)
for other languages or for irregular plural English words you can just use plural(2,"singular_form","plural_form").
There is no standard java library to pluralize words. It can be done with https://inflector.dev.java.net/ lib but it is for slightly different usages and would be kind of overkill for simple tasks like this.
>Could you use a #macro(plural ...) instead?
I don't insist, if you think it is redundant feel free to remove it... Personally in our projects I know a lot of places where this could be useful. It is kind of similar to alt(checkMe, alternate), just instead of checking for null it is checking for !=1.
