=== Singular or plural? ===
+
Generally, we use the plural for categories but some of them are in singular. We don't put the plural form when it has a different meaning. For example Beef and Beefs. We are talking of the meat and not the animal, so there is no "s".
+
+
Sometimes plural or singular depends on the language.
+
+
If the category is in plural form, the translations should be in the plural form.

@stephane new proposal (not yet adopted, to be discussed)
+
In the categories taxonomy, always use the plural (en:beers, fr:bières).
+
Then add the singular (especially if it's not a simple rule like removing the final s) in a property:
+
singular:en:beer
+
singular:fr:bière
+
For the ingredients taxonomy, do the reverse:
+
always use the singular for the main entry, and then add the plural:
+
en:tomato
+
plural:en:tomatoes
