pluralize results if plural in symfony (good practice)

I have a filter bar that let me search some results within my database.

I have a flash message that shows how many results are found when I enter a word inside it.

this is my controller

 if ($filter != '') {
        $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('info', 'worked!');
      }

and this is in my template

{% for message in app.session.flashbag.get('info') %}
    {{ message }}
{% endfor %}

so when i research things actually, whether I have 1 result or more it doesn't change my sentence.

résultats is still written with an s as it is hard coded. How can I create something that will allow me to pluralize and singularize a word in my template? Should I go directly in the controller for that ?

EDIT

I used this method directly in the template but I don't think it is a "good practice" one. Any help for making that better?

{{ results.getTotalItemCount }}
{% if results.getTotalItemCount <= 1 %}
   {{ 'this.is.your.result'|trans({ '%count%': results.getTotalItemCount}) }}
{% else %}
   {{ 'this.is.your.results'|trans({ '%count%': results.getTotalItemCount}) }}
{% endif %}

in translation

this:
    is:
       your.result:    "résultat"
       your.results:   "résultats"
Solution

  • You should maybe check pluralization in translations here, you can use transChoice() method, it is explained here how to use it.

    Here you can see how to use it in twig:

    Edit: your answer in question can be done like this:

    this:
    is:
       your.result: "1 résultat|%count% résultats"

    and then in your twig:

    {{ 'this.is.your.result'|transchoice(results.getTotalItemCount) }}
