 - **Translates only what changed.** It remembers a hash of each source string per language. New strings are translated. Changed strings are *revised*: the model gets the existing translation and changes only what the source change requires. Removed strings are deleted from every language.
 - **Protects hand edits.** If someone edited a translation, localewarden detects it, keeps it, and lists it for review. If the source of a hand-edited string changes later, the string is flagged instead of overwritten.
-- **Checks every result before writing it.** Broken placeholders, foreign alphabets, changed links, broken HTML and echoed source text are rejected (retried once, then left for the next run). Softer problems are retried and reported.
+- **Checks every result before writing it.** Broken placeholders, injected HTML or scripts, foreign alphabets, changed links, broken HTML and echoed source text are rejected (retried once, then left for the next run). Softer problems are retried and reported.
 - **Consistent style per language.** It enforces formal or informal address per language (`du`/`Sie`, `tu`/`vous`, `ты`/`вы` and 16 more), uses sentence case where the language does, avoids gendered forms for "you", and applies local typography (French spacing, `92 %` in German, CJK quotation marks).
+- **Plural forms per language.** For i18next-style keys (`item_one`, `item_other`) it adds the forms a language needs but English lacks, such as Polish `_few` and `_many` or Arabic `_zero`, `_two`, `_few` and `_many` (CLDR plural rules).
 - **Glossary and protected names.** You choose fixed renderings ("Privacy Policy" -> "Politique de confidentialité") and names that must never be translated. The check accepts grammatical case endings.
 - **Quality check for CI.** `localewarden check` runs all checks without any API calls and exits non-zero on errors.
 - **Targeted repair.** `--fix-flagged` asks the model to fix only what the check flagged. The fix is accepted only if the problem is gone and little else changed.
