Sure, many languages have special forms. Then how should the string "hours" (meaning "hour" in plural form) be translated into a single expression in Scottish Gaelic? How much laughter and ridicule can we expect when a Scottish user sees "11 uairean" in an unimportant status message on his screen?

We should also have to cater for dual forms and the "small-group" (2-4) plural aspects in some slavic languages.

Or maybe not. Stellarium is astronomy software, not so much linguists' playground.
