Six plural forms in translations

Up until this release (1.2.3), Launchpad Translations has supported only four plural forms. This works for many languages but has been a problem for Arabic, in particular, as it has six different plural forms.

I’m pleased to say that Launchpad now supports up to six plural forms in those languages that need them!

    Hi Mohammad,

    A good place to start is the “Translating Ubuntu” page, if you want to find out more about translating software into Arabic:

    Thanks!

    Matthew.
