hi,

in translation of strings what number to people use. English has the
word 'you' with no plural form. In indian languages we have singular and
plural for both pronouns and verbs - we usually use the plural to be
polite or show respect. In doing tamil translation it sounds a bit rude
to use 'nee'(you in singular) instead of 'neengal'(you in plural - or to
show respect). How about other languages?

(I hope I do not get chucked for using two tamil words)
