How do I get django to realize that the singular form of countries is country and not countrie

In Sendwithus you can use the pluralize filter to change the suffix of a word. Like Django's pluralize filter it returns a plural suffix if the first argument is an integer greater than 1 or a sequence with more than 1 item. If a plural suffix isn't specified pluralize defaults to 's'.
From the documentation: {% extends variable %} uses the value of variable. If the variable evaluates to a string, Django will use that string as the name of the parent template. If the variable evaluates to a Template object, Django will use that object as the parent template.
Variable names consist of any combination of alphanumeric characters and the underscore ( "_" ) but may not start with an underscore, and may not be a number.
autoescape. Controls the current auto-escaping behavior. This tag takes either on or off as an argument and that determines whether auto-escaping is in effect inside the block. The block is closed with an endautoescape ending tag.
From the docs, if you have a template variable called num_countries, you could just write something like:
countr{{ num_countries|pluralize:"y,ies" }} I know this question is specifically asked for templates, but for anyone (just like me) stumbling upon this question while searching for the solution in 'Python-side' Django
from django.template.defaultfilters import pluralize def pluralize_countries(countries): return 'countr{}'.format(pluralize(countries, 'y,ies') The pluralize function looks at the first parameter to see if it's plural or not. Let's assume the first parameter is always an array of some kind. So:
if len(countries) > 1: # PLURAL! else: # SINGLE! Than, it looks at the second parameter to see what to do if the first parameter is single or plural. A rough sketch of the pluralize code looks like this:
def pluralize(arr, options): split_options = options.split(',') if len(arr) > 1: return split_options[1] else: return split_options[0] I know the pluralization is slightly more complex. But in a nutshell, this is what it does.
