iOS Plurals Not Working with Crowdin SDK

[initishbhatt]

Describe the bug
iOS plural forms are not working correctly when using the Crowdin SDK, despite working perfectly with local bundles fetched via Crowdin CLI. The same .stringsdict files and localization keys work locally but fail when the Crowdin SDK is enabled.

Environment

• Crowdin Plan: Enterprise
• Platform: iOS
• Languages: 14+ languages (en, fr, de, es, pt, ar, ja, ko, etc.)

 Sample .stringsdict Content

  English (en.lproj/Localizable.stringsdict):

  <key>user.achievements</key>
  <dict>
      <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key>
      <string>%#@value@</string>
      <key>value</key>
      <dict>
          <key>one</key>
          <string>{noOfAchievements} achievement</string>
          <key>other</key>
          <string>{noOfAchievements} achievements</string>
          <key>NSStringFormatValueTypeKey</key>
          <string>d</string>
          <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key>
          <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string>
      </dict>
  </dict>

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup with Local Bundles (Working):

   • Download translations using Crowdin CLI

   • Use local .strings and .stringsdict files

   • Call localizedString("user.achievements", count: 5)

Result: Returns "{noOfAchievements} achievements" (correct plural)

2. Setup with Crowdin SDK (Broken):

   • Enable Crowdin SDK in app

   • Configure SDK to pull from distribution

   • Ensure distribution contains the same .stringsdict files

   • Call localizedString("user.achievements", count: 5)

Result: Returns "{noOfAchievements} achievement" (incorrect singular)

Test Across Multiple Languages:

Test with languages having complex plural rules (ar, ru, pl)
All exhibit the same issue - only singular form is used

Expected behavior
When calling localizedString("user.achievements", count: 5), should return "{noOfAchievements} achievements" (plural form) just as it does with local bundles.

func localizedString(_ key: String, count: Int) -> String {
      let format = NSLocalizedString(key, comment: "")
      return String.localizedStringWithFormat(format, count)
  }

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iphone 15, 16
• OS: iOS 18+

Is there additional configuration required for .stringsdict support via SDK?
If i fetch only stringsdict, plurals are working
