Yep! Always worth referring to:

  http://doc.qt.digia.com/qq/qq19-plurals.html

Since Qt 4.2. And in order not to translate the entire GUI from "Engineering English" to "English" there's even a -pluralonly switch for 'lupdate' which only extracts the %n plural forms - nice!

P.S. The Qt Quarterly articles seem to be asleep since about 2011 - I'd love to read a nice "wrap up" about the current and future state of Qt OpenGL enablers, for instance (mainly desktop for me) :)
