Hebrew plural forms

[Yaron Shahrabani]

I'm really hoping we can find a way to pull this off, it'll require human
resources beyond our reach.

I can try and think about a way to do this automatically but I'm afraid it
won't be perfect.
Are there any examples of other languages that switched plural forms in KDE
along their history?

Thanks.
