Symfony2: twig filters inside transchoice

I am using Symfony2, Twig and xliff based translations.

Now, I want to show text based on a numerical value which is between [-Inf,Inf]. To do that, I use transchoice.

My problem: I want to display 7 days ago if count=-7. However, I get -7 days ago. I can't use twig filters like abs inside transchoice fields, right? How do I remove the leading minus sign.

Here is my message.en.xliff...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xliff version="1.2" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
    <file source-language="en" datatype="plaintext" original="file.ext">
        <body>
            <trans-unit id="1">
               <source>todo.days-difference</source>
                   <target>{0} today|{1} tommorow|]1,14] %count% days before|]14,Inf] far away|{-1} yesterday|[-14,-1[{{ count }}%count% days after|[-Inf,-14[ long after</target>
            </trans-unit>
        </body>
    </file>
</xliff>

passing the absolute value of the count variable as argument solves the problem:

    {{ "todo.days-differences"|transchoice(task.getDueDateDifference(), {'%count_abs%': task.getDueDateDifference()|abs}) }}

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <xliff version="1.2" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
        <file source-language="en" datatype="plaintext" original="file.ext">
            <body>
                <trans-unit id="1">
                   <source>todo.days-difference</source>
                       <target>{0} today|{1} tommorow|]1,14] %count_abs% days before|]14,Inf] far away|{-1} yesterday|[-14,-1[ %count_abs% days after|[-Inf,-14[ long after</target>
                </trans-unit>
            </body>
        </file>
    </xliff>
