👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so first thing, listen: UNTESTED!!! PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!!! 😭 like genuinely, she is not ready, she needs you. What she does is translate a message using the GNU gettext infrastructure 💅

Guido Flohr reports: be aware that Locale::gettext is only a binding for the C library libintl and depends on its features. That means that your module will effectively only run on GNU systems and maybe on Solaris (depending on the exact version), because only these systems provide the plural handling functions ngettext(), dngettext() and dcngettext(). Sooner or later you will probably also need bind_textdomain_codeset() which is also only available on certain systems. 💀

Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Log::Report::Translator.

ngl bestie, "only on GNU systems" is not a vibe check she passes everywhere — read that warning again before you ship 🔥
