This PR was merged into the 4.4 branch. Discussion ---------- [Translation] The 'other' key is mandatory in ICU 'select' In a new Symfony app I worked on recently, we use ICU intl messages. Symfony makes it super easy to use and everything works perfectly. Thanks to everybody who made it possible! However, when using `select`, the `other` key is mandatory. In some messages of my app we only have two options, so I didn't add `other` at first ... and I saw this: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/73419/90253477-8000d480-de41-11ea-94c0-faa7adb517d4.png) This option being mandatory is mentioned in http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages and https://messageformat.github.io/messageformat/page-guide#toc3__anchor so we may do the same.
