السلام عليكم
I have no knowledge in scripting, but I suggest to make all plural form
messages fuzzy now using a script, replace with the new header. When a
translator will want to correct plural forms KBabel will create the new
fields (6 instead of 4), and he/she will add the new forms based on the
fuzzied message.
