Yes, there are cases where not all of the plural forms can actually happen in practice. Just like there are a few cases where n == 1 cannot happen, it may be possible to prove in some cass that n >= 5 cannot happen, which would be of interest to Russian, for example. I don't think there is much you can do here. Either leave it out, or write "CANNOT HAPPEN", or just translate normally. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
