I am struggling a little with the translation: Does Discourse choose the singular and plural based on `count` or `total`?
From my understanding, it’s usually count.
But I cannot figure out how to handle the case that **`count` is 1** and **`total` is 3**. I get something like “1 of 3 _post_ in this topic is published”. I can fix that by using “posts”: “1 of 3 post_s_ in this topic is published”. But then it doesn’t work if `total` is 1. 🤯

> This one is a little more complex because it depends on two variables: `count` and `total`. For example:
>
> - **1** of _1_ _post_ in this topic **is** published
> - **1** of _3_ _posts_ in this topic **is** published
> - **2** of _3_ _posts_ in this topic **are** published
Maybe we need [Message Format support for localization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/message-format-support-for-localization/7035) in this case?
