Hi @Bertrand_Delforge,

Please note that the number of forms depends on the language. Each language has its own rules so for example, if you are referring to English then only 2 forms will be defined:

- ‘1’ for ‘one’
- ‘5’ for ‘other’

If you are referring to Arabic, though, we need to have the following forms instead:

- ‘0’ for ‘zero’
- ‘1’ for ‘one’
- ‘2’ for ‘two’
- ‘3’ for ‘few’
- ‘4’ for ‘many’
- ‘5’ for ‘other’
