I am not sure if it's so complicated in Croatian, but I think there may be something like that. So the best way to make sure I make you a correct menu is to give me the

N books: 1 knjiga/2-4 knjige/5+ knjiga

or something like that. This way I can easily code it up for you. So far for Ukrainian, Czech and Croatian I had to make some guesses with Google Translate, but it was a real pain.

The U.F. image is attached. The ready made image with Russian-East Euro (but not Ukrainian) fonts is here.
Actually yes, and I was worried about that because there was only "1" and "N". In Croatian, the first four numbers have specific word forms. So: 1, 2, 3, 4 and any number that ends in those four digits will have the same word form as if they were 1, 2, 3, 4. Numbers that end in any other digit will have the neutral form, that is the form of the number 1. Usually, numbers 2, 3, 4 share the same specific form. Also, sometimes the 5+ numbers have their own form, for instance the word "objekt".

Again, this worried me, but I didn't want to step on your toes by being all pedantic seeing how your spending all this time on incorporating these translations. I'm glad that I was wrong and that you care about being completely accurate. I don't remember the last time a Croatian software translation had accurate word forms for numbers.

Here are the more specific translations:

Code:
"1 stranica"
"2-4 stranice"
"5-N stranica"
"1 objekt"
"2-4 objekta"
"5-N objekata"
"1 pjesma"
"2-4 pjesme"
"5-N pjesama"
"1 označena stranica"
"2-4 označene stranice"
"5-N označenih stranica"
"1 knjiga"
"2-4 knjige"
"5-N knjiga"
"1 kolekcija"
"2-4 kolekcije"
"5-N kolekcija"
"1 slika"
"2-4 slike"
"5-N slika"
"1 alat"
"2-N alata"
