Hmmm, I intended to write something about P-F there but it seems that
I left this undone:
<sect1>
<title>
Plural Forms
</title>
<para>
Foo
</para>
</sect1>
which is a bit short actually..:-)

My usual pointer about plural forms is
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/gettext_150.html
It gives a lot of Plural-Forms for several languages.
And beware that even when a language does not use plural like Chinese
(lucky people!), you have to use a Plural-Forms header in the files
where at least one plural form is used:
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;\n"
