Hi Carlton, I think this issue is important for the Django developers mailing list. I already commented on the PR about 3 weeks ago. Yes I know that most Django users use either English, or a language which its plural forms were not changed recently. But users who use a language whose plural forms changed, for example Hebrew in Django 2.2, have problems upgrading Django to 2.2 without serious consequences. I don't know how many users like this there are, except the users who commented on this ticket, which are only about 4 or 5 users as far as I remember. But think about it this way - if the language affected was English, would you act differently? The ticket is from 10 months ago (May 2019), since then there is a problem with Django 2.2, and I noticed you released recently a new Django version. I think you (the Django developers) should take this issue seriously and not like "That one user has a bug".
