This is not very localizable. First, some languages have more than one  
plural form (e.g. russian – they have more than "one" and "many").  
Second, in many languages, the plural form is different for different  
words. E.g. in German, the plural of "Fehler" ("error") is  
"Fehler" (no change), the plural of "Ausnahme" ("exception") is  
"Ausnahmen" ("n" added), and the plural of "Baum" ("tree") is  
"Bäume" ("e" added, and "a" changed to its umlaut). I have no idea how  
relevant this is ;-)
