Module:UnitPlural/doc

This module is rated as beta. It is considered ready for widespread use, but as it is still relatively new, it should be applied with some caution to ensure results are as expected.

The main function takes a number and unit name (|quantity=) and an optional language code (|lang=) from the frame.

It returns the quantity with proper plural units in the given language, if it can.

It will find use when the quantity is returned from Wikidata, so that the numerical value is not yet known.
