I created Localize.js ( https://localizejs.com ), a localization SaaS. Pluralization is a challenge, but we're able to solve this with some pretty simple HTML tags. For example: <div>I have <var pluralize="3">3</var> dogs!</div> Localize.js identifies the <var> tag with the pluralize attribute, and pluralizes the phrase to any language (including languages like Arabic which can have 6 different plural forms).

It's a client side Javascript library that handles phrase detection and the injection of translations. Machine and human translations can be ordered via our web interface. Why is this cool? It generally takes an engineer at least 1-2 weeks to fully localize a website (go through all template files, replace all t…
