-PILOS is available in multiple languages. By default, PILOS comes with English and German translations.
-Other locales are maintained by the community using [PoEditor](https://poeditor.com/join/project/gWkaFBI8OH).
+PILOS supports multiple languages, with English and German officially maintained.
+
+English serves as the reference language and can only be changed in the source code.
+
+All translations are managed in the [POEditor Project](https://poeditor.com/projects/view?id=700042).

 ## Locale structure
 
@@ -15,10 +19,54 @@ For example, the string `auth.ldap.username_help` would be stored in the file `a
 
 Within the file, the keys are organized in nested php arrays.
 
+### Placeholders
+
+Placeholders in localization strings are defined using the `:placeholder` syntax.
+
+**DO NOT** use `:n` and `:count` as these are reserved for pluralization.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+"Welcome, :name!"
+```
+
+Both frontend and backend code can replace `:name` with a dynamic value, producing:
+
+```
+"Welcome, John!"
+```
+
+When translating, ensure that placeholders remain unchanged and are correctly positioned within the sentence structure of the target language.
+
+### Pluralization
+
+Pluralization can be complex, and we currently support the **flexible pluralization format used by [Laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/localization#pluralization)**.
+
+#### Format
+
+```text
+{0} No items | {1} One item | [2,*] :count items
+```
+
+Each plural form is separated by a pipe (`|`):
+
+- **Curly braces `{}`** define exact numbers.
+- **Square brackets `[]`** define numeric ranges.
+- The **asterisk (`*`)** denotes an open upper range.
+
+Pluralization forms must be listed in ascending order, and you can define as many as required for a given locale.
+
+#### Placeholders
+
+- Singular strings support arbitrary placeholders using the `:placeholder` syntax.
+- Pluralization strings only support the `:count` placeholder to represent the number of items.
+  Additional placeholders are not supported.
+
 ## Overriding locales
 
 You can override the default locales by creating custom locale files in the `resources/custom/lang` directory.
-This directory need to be mounted to the container by adjusting the docker-compose file.
