@michaelschattgen I can explain you. In many languages we have declension (something like grammar cases). For example in Polish language we have more than 1 plural forms.
In English you have just 1 plural form:

  • 1 entry
  • 2 entries
  • 5 entries etc.

But for example in Polish language I need to prepare translations:

  • 1 wpis
  • 2 wpisy
  • 5 wpis贸w

Please look again to link and see rules: https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/33/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html#pl

Currently I can't prepare correct translations. Do you understand issue now?

Could you elaborate on this? I don't think the english sentences are missing plural forms.

In fact, singular forms is wrong:

Read 1 entries

This sort of stuff is actually what spurred Mozilla to create Project Fluent.

@mKoonrad Whoops. Will be fixed once #558 is merged.
