Looks like a useful tool.  Perhaps msginit (plural-table.c) could use
the generated data.

 

What about a structure like this?

// In plural-table.h

struct plural_table_entry

{

  const char *lang;

  const char *language;

  const char *value;

  const char **cases;

  const char **examples;

};

// In plural-table.c

struct plural_table_entry plural_table[] = {

  {

    "af",

    "Afrikaans",

    "nplurals=2; plural=n != 1",

    {"one", "other"},

    {"1", "0, 2~16, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  },

  {

    "ak",

    "Akan",

    "nplurals=2; plural=n > 1",

    {"one", "other"},

    {"0, 1", "2~17, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  },

  {

    "am",

    "Amharic",

    "nplurals=2; plural=n > 1",

    {"one", "other"},

    {"0, 1", "2~17, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  },

  {

    "ar",

    "Arabic",

    "nplurals=6; plural=(n == 0) ? 0 : ((n == 1) ? 1 : ((n == 2) ? 2 : ((n % 100 >= 3 && n % 100 <= 10) ? 3 : ((n % 100 >= 11 && n % 100 <= 99) ? 4 : 5))))",

    {"zero", "one", "two", "few", "many", "other"},

    {"0", "1", "2", "3~10, 103~110, 1003, ...", "11~26, 111, 1011, ...", "100~102, 200~202, 300~302, 400~402, 500~502, 600, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  },

  // ...

  {

    "zh",

    "Chinese",

    "nplurals=1; plural=0",

    {"other"},

    {"0~15, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  },

  {

    "zu",

    "Zulu",

    "nplurals=2; plural=n > 1",

    {"one", "other"},

    {"0, 1", "2~17, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, ..."}

  }

};
