True, but the translator's free to choose what to replace it with an
entire word, since as far as I know, they can completely rewrite the
sentence, including the location of the substitution. I hadn't
considered languages with more than 2 plurals, mainly cause I wasn't
aware of any. Like I said, I'm fine with changing it the other way.
