TYPO3.Flow

At the moment, if a translation for a plural version of a translation is not available, the translation system silently fails.

It would be better to throw an exception if the translation is available but the matching plural version is missing so that the developer knows whats going on.

Additionally the documentation for the plural handling of the translation system should be updated. An example for a translation with multiple plurals is this:

<group id="my.unique.translationkey" restype="x-gettext-plurals">
    <trans-unit id="my.unique.translationkey[0]">
        <source>MySourceText</source>
        <target>This is only {0} item.</target>
    </trans-unit>
    <trans-unit  id=my.unique.translationkey[1]">
        <source>MySourceText</source>
        <target>These are {0} items.</target>
    </trans-unit>
</group>
