Hello,

The gettext manual lists Turkish among languages that require only one plural form. But I reckon that’s not accurate, especially after reading the paragraph about Hungarian on the same page.

Following the same example, and translating to Turkish:

   “0 apples”      → “0 elma”
   “no apples”     → “elma yok”
   “1 apple”       → “1 elma”
   “2 apples”      → “2 elma”
   “123 apples”    → “123 elma”
   “the apple”     → “elma”
   “the apples”    → “elmalar” (!)

So I suppose this would be more appropriate for Turkish:

   Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n > 1;

[cc’ing gettext Turkish translator to confirm]
