Translating Plural/Singular Forms

Have you ever needed counting specific items, with translations?

A typical code would be:

<div class="">
    @if($messagesCount === 0)
        <span>You have no new messages</span>
    @elseif($messagesCount === 1)
        <span>You have 1 new message</span>
    @else
        <span>You have {{ $messagesCount }} new messages</span>
    @endif
</div>

To avoid these if conditions, you can use the Laravel localization pluralization feature.

Using trans_choice() Helper

Laravel comes with a really great helper function called trans_choice(). This function allows us to use a string that contains multiple translations, and it will choose the correct one based on the number we pass to it...
