Has anybody experience with i18n and parameters? E.g. translating the string "I have 7 cars". where "7" is a variable that is determined at runtime?
The "tr" doesn't have any parameters as far as I can see. How is this done?

[Robert Jaros]

tr() is just an simple alias for <http://I18n.tr|I18n.tr>(), but there is also I18n.ngettext(...) for your use case.

If I understand this will just return singular/plural. But how can I add additional parameters.

E.g.: "Your name is Robert" - where "Robert" is only known at runtime.

[Robert Jaros]

I see what you mean

[Robert Jaros]

It should be implemented but it's not 😞

[Robert Jaros]

In JS you can just add a parameter, but in Kotlin you can't. I should create a vararag version. So please fill an issue.
