Description

In most programs the default language is English. Should this be reflected in the formula of the nilTranslator instead of the no-plural one? If that is not desirable, because changing a default may have an impact on other programs, then adding an API to allow changing it would be nice.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the nilTranslator implementation in the codebase to understand how the plural formula is set. Consider either changing the default to English plural formula or adding an API to allow users to set a custom default.
