Hi! LT is a great site. CK is great. For some words as author, work, maybe character, event etc. the English master messages have distinct forms for singular and plural.
However some English wors have the same spelling in singular and plural as "series", "publisher series", maybe others.
Please implement some way to translate these messages correctly, I mean one should distinguish where the message is i used in a singular and where in a plural form. Thanks in advance!

This is not a bug. Such a way exists—I can include text in the text to be translated that doesn't show up except in the translation interface. (It shows as "note: " and can be something like "note: plural" or "note: noun"). The need for such a notice is a bug, but should be entered specifically, not as a general request.

Please give the English page and text when translations are needed.

Closing as bug.
