Himachali has 2 plural forms:

Form 0 for 1.

Form 1 for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

When translating into this language, you need to be able to express plural forms effectively. The plural form expression tells the translation system when to use each plural form. For example, some languages express the idea of "zero objects" differently to "one object" or "more than ten objects". In these cases, the plural form expression captures the information needed to know which form to use based on the number in question.

Thanks for the information! One more thing missing: what form does the language use for "0 objects"?

Bit of confusion about the question states here, because plural information is semantically more of an answer than a question to us. But procedurally it's the user asking us developers/admins to enter plural information into the system. If the question is in the Solved or Answered state we'll generally think it no longer needs our attention.

Ohh, sorry for that.
And for the "0 objects", the language uses the same form as for "1 object".

Thanks! That completes the information we needed. I've updated the language: https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/him
