Lokalise allows you to create translation keys with plural forms. In this article you'll learn how to get started with plural keys.

To enable plural forms for a key, start by opening your project editor in Lokalise. Click on any key name to access the key editor.

If you can't open the key editor, ensure you have the necessary access rights and that key editing is enabled in your project settings.

Next, in the key editor go to the Advanced tab and turn on the This key requires plural forms option.

Lokalise handles plural forms automatically according to Unicode rules. This means that while some languages may have up to six forms, others, like English, might only need a few.
​

You also have the option to enable Set as custom plural key.

Some file formats support plural keys that differ from the key itself. In most cases, you'll want to set this to match the key.

In some cases, you might need to adjust plural forms for specific languages.

Custom plural forms can be configured either in the projects dashboard or the project editor. From the projects dashboard, locate your project, click the More icon next to the relevant language, and choose Settings.

If you're in the project editor, open the languages dropdown, find the language, and click More > Settings.

Once there, enable the Custom plural forms option, select the desired plural forms, and click Save.

Your selected language will now use the specified plural forms for this project. If you want to revert to the default plural forms, simply disable the Custom plural forms setting and save your changes.
