I was asked by a translator wanting to help with the translations of a project not hosted in Launchpad how should he fill the plural form gettext header.
My first thought was to point him to https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/+languages/ro, but it looks like right now we only have the human readable plural forms.
Maybe it would be nice to also display the non human readable plural forms, similar to http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/ro
Below are Curtis comments regarding „Translation” facet for languages.

This seems easy enough to do but we'd have to decide where to put it on the page. I'd prefer to hide it by default and provide a "Details" fold-out or similar. That could also include the information in the portlet on the right.
A UI pre-imp is very much advised.
