Sorry, if I incorrectly interpreted your proposal, it was unclear to me at what stage you planned to expand the special markup such as %| Doing this at runtime means adding large dictionaries to the distribution (together with complex algorithms) to perform a dictionary lookup.

But what we could do better than that is to improve po-mode to help translators to fill all plural forms in the existing format, but to do this automatically using either a downloaded or online dictionary.
