Description

Docs at: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/ gives following example:

d = {
    count: 10
};
s = interpolate(ungettext('this is %(count)s object', 'this are %(count)s objects', d.count), d);

but, according to interpolate definition:

function interpolate(fmt, obj, named) {
    if (named) {
        return fmt.replace(/%\(\w+\)s/g, function(match){return String(obj[match.slice(2,-2)])});
    } else {
        return fmt.replace(/%s/g, function(match){return String(obj.shift())});
    }
}

there should be third parameter (named) in call to interpolate. Otherwise it always tries to do positional substitution Like:

d = {
    count: 10
};
s = interpolate(ungettext('this is %(count)s object', 'this are %(count)s objects', d.count), d, true);

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

I'm marking this as a dupe of #6859 that is newer but it also fixes other problems in the same area of the documentation and has a patch.
