In particular, support for plurals, but also probably worth mentioning the locale updater.

Thanks again for you awesome documentation work!
There is just an error about generic localization that is equal to the case called `other`.
Do not hesitate to ping me if you want another round.

Actually, the generic localization is the `other` case.
So that following example should be:
  tomato_id[one]= tomato
  tomato_id= tomatoes
(The order isn't important)
Note that the following example *do not* works:
  tomato_id[one]= tomato
  tomato_id[other]= tomatoes
I think that's an implementation flow, we should accept both?!

Same thing here, generic is equal to `other`.
