====== Plural Forms ======

This is a list of the plural forms, as used by Gettext PO, that are appropriate to each language.

If your language isn't represented - please add it, or if the information is inaccurate or inadequate in some way - please edit it.  The Plural information is usually very hard to find and also in many ways hard for a new localiser to understand.  So please see this as a repository that can help localisers.  Understanding how the Gettext functions use plural forms will help you [[http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html.gz#Plural-forms|design a correct plural form]].

Note: Launchpad also has [[https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages|plural information about many languages]], please add it here if your language is missing.

Note: Mozilla now also uses [[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Localization_and_Plurals|plural forms]].  Although they follow a slightly different form, the [[http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/intl/locale/src/PluralForm.jsm#59|underlying equations]] seem to be the same as those used by Gettext.

Note: [[http://unicode.org/cldr|Unicode CLDR]] also collects [[http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html|plural information about many languages]].

<note warning> Many of these equations contain the word "or" instead of the correct "||" operator (the wiki table markup uses | so we can't use it). Before you can use these equations, you need to replace the "or" with "||".</note>
