LanguageService should support placeholders
Added by Stefan Neufeind over 6 years ago.
Updated over 2 years ago.
Description
It's common to have support for placeholders like %1 in translation-strings. Currently LanguageService can just fetch a string, but there is no tool-functionality for placeholders.
(In addition to that also singular/plural-strings might be worth to consider in the same go.)

That's how it's done in Symfony:

They use named placeholders like name. In general you are free in naming placeholders, but that's the recommended way.
They also have a way to choose a translation based upon a number which allows "no apples|one apple|%count% apples" in one translation-string.
Use the LocalizationUtility and you are good to go as this one supports placeholderes. The only thing that is still missing is singular and plural.
Thanks for pointing that out. Going back in history I wonder if my original issue was filed with TYPO3 v7 in mind. It seems LocalizationUtility arrived with v8.
So should we close the old issue with "use LocalizationUtility" and just make this one a smaller, separate enhancement for LocalizationUtility then? Maybe there are other enhancements which might make sense, that you'd want to propose in that same go?
