Being Russian, a lot! Russian has 3 basic forms of pluralizing nouns
with many variants of these forms for different declinations. So to
solve this problem universally you have to have a not-so-small language
dictionary for every different case. I don't know if such things exist
and it's actually my dream project to make one (for Russian).
As for now I tend to have a template tag working like this
{% quantity object.all.count ÏÂßÅËÔ %}
where 3rd parameter is a noun in nominative singular form (most basic).
Then the tag does this:
if value.endswith(u'ÉÑ'):
if quantity in [11, 12, 13, 14]:
value = value[:-2] + u'ÉÊ'
elif quantity % 10 == 1:
value = value[:-2] + u'ÉÑ'
elif quantity % 10 in [2, 3, 4]:
value = value[:-2] + u'ÉÉ'
else:
value = value[:-2] + u'ÉÊ'
elif value.endswith(u'...'):
...
And then adding new words that I need to form as necessary.
