The chosen form should handle plural correctly with the help of gettext. From an example of the gettext info :

In Polish we use e.g. plik (file) this way: 1 plik 2,3,4 pliki 5-21 pliko'w 22-24 pliki 25-31 pliko'w

I think Sqwebmail language strings are mostly either whole phrases, or labels/column headings. Does sqwebmail have any cases where English singular+plural forms are generated dynamically? If not, then this level of sophistication wouldn't be needed for translations either.

What do the numbers 1-31 in your example represent? My first reaction was that Polish seems to have a different plural form depending on whether you have 21 beans or 22 beans :-)
