Here is a sad fact.
It's so hard to find a Japanese programmer who also knows English.
Believe me, there are many Japanese boost users.
But they don't contribute in here because they don't know English one bit.
Requiring English means this library will be never used by Japanese.

I really don't like the current situation too. But it cannot be changed.

Please, Don't start plural handling system.
It's bad for localization.
Plural should not be handled by software which will be localized to
all known languages.
You can use.

I have 2 shirt(s).
