This is done, thanks for the feedback. It seems the list at
Translate.org is not right then.

Same for cldr then - I assume it is because of bad formatting in the
samples? Visually they appear the same with my font, but the "C"-like
character is different in the "one" and "other" examples...

So Baurzhan, please file a ticket
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/newticket to have that updated

Hi Sophie,

It seems some language settings in Pootle are missing the plural form
now that it has been added to master.

Where should I miss/how can I see that

If the field is blank, you won't be able to translate and will have an
error message (from what I've understood from the requests in Pootle

Where can I see a field for this?

(Sorry for being totally dump here :wink: obviously missed some mails..)

You need to be Pootle admin to modify the language values.
But for NL, number of plurals is: 2, I guess it's correct.

For langauges that don't have any plural form configured, see my mail:
https://www.mail-archive.com/l10n@global.libreoffice.org/msg11831.html

But that doesn't allow you to check whether existing entries are
correct, for that see below...

You need to be Pootle admin to modify the language values.
But for NL, number of plurals is: 2, I guess it's correct.

and also important equation is (n != 1), so quantity of 0 also gets
plural, like German (0 Sekunden, 1 Sekunde, 2 Sekunden, …)

There's a bug/missing feature in pootle that doesn't export the
Plural-Forms header to files downloaded via web, but the files synced
to disk have it. Meaning: You cannot check in files downloaded from
pootle (only the number of plurals, by the number of msgstr[#] lines),
but you can check it in the translations repo:
