There is a problem with Arabic plural forms, as the only used forms are "one" and "other", while there are a total of 6 forms! For example (F:Form): F\_zero: A F\_one: B F\_two: C f\_few: D f\_many: F f\_other: F “other” is selected for count=2 while there is a form for it (two) and it’s not used (And it has a translation). ---

On first glance everything looks fine. Can you give an example for a string where the pluralization doesn’t work? What text is shown and what would you expect instead? A screenshot would help too. ---

![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/3/a3427b33dec95d016b3559714aaed522ab87fe05.png) The translation for the string is (Form is in brackets): "لا إعجابات" (zero) "إعجاب واحد" (one) "إعجابان" (two) "{{count}} إعجابات" (few) "{{count}} إعجابا" (many) "{{count}} إعجاب" (other) As you see, in the green box the "one" form is used (1 like) In the red box, the "other" form is used while it should be the "two" (2 likes) ---

I see. The [pluralization rules for the client](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/locales/ar.js.erb) are missing. In case you want to create a pull request, take a look at this example (of course the pluralization rules for Arabic are different): [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/locales/cs.js.erb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/locales/cs.js.erb) The pluralization rules for the server look fine: > ---
