Fluent format

Added in version 4.8.

Note

Support for this format is under development. Some features might not yet be available and the behavior can change between releases. Feedback from testing is welcome.

Fluent is a monolingual text format that focuses on asymmetric localization: a simple string in one language can map to a complex multi-variant translation in another language.
