Hi Sophie,

in the list behind the link above Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian are missing. But they are in the 
CLDR list.

This applies to both Sorbian languages:

nplurals=4; plural=(n%100==1 ? 1 : n%100==2 ? 2 : n%100==3 || n%100==4 ? 3 : 0);


This is the system:

1, 101, 201, 301, etc. --> Nominative/Accusative singular
2, 102, 202, 302, etc. --> Nominative/Accusative dual
3/4, 103/104, 203/204, 303/304, etc. --> Nominative/Accusative plural
0, 5-100, 105-200, 205-300, 305-400, etc. --> Genitive plural

Decisive is the last digit, with decimal numbers as well. If the last digit behind the comma (in 
English: point) is 1 then nominative/accusative singular, if it is 2 nominative/accusative dual and 
so on.

So, both Sorbian languages have 4 forms and the same rules.

Christian already knows about that. He enabled it on Pootle that I can translate the strings with 
plural forms. Before there was no translation text box because Pootle didn't know the Sorbian plural 
rules.

He wrote me: "Set it to four plural forms without explicitly listing the equation - that
allows for translation already."

Kind regards,

Michael
