trans('Welcome, :NAME!', { name: 'Francisco' }) // Bem-vindo FRANCISCO!

transChoice(message: string, count: number, replacements: {})

The transChoice() method can translate a given message based on a count,
there is also available an trans_choice alias, and a mixin called $tChoice().

{
    "There is one apple|There are many apples": "Existe uma maça|Existe muitas maças",
    "{0} There are none|[1,19] There are some|[20,*] There are many": "Não tem|Tem algumas|Tem muitas",
    "{1} :count minute ago|[2,*] :count minutes ago": "{1} há :count minuto|[2,*] há :count minutos",
}

import { transChoice } from 'laravel-vue-i18n';

transChoice('There is one apple|There are many apples', 1); // Existe uma maça
transChoice('{0} There are none|[1,19] There are some|[20,*] There are many', 19); // Tem algumas
transChoice('{1} :count minute ago|[2,*] :count minutes ago', 10); // Há 10 minutos.
