+<p>Different languages have different rules for grammatical agreement with quantity. In English,
+for example, the quantity 1 is a special case. We write "1 book", but for any other quantity we'd
+write "<i>n</i> books". This distinction between singular and plural is very common, but other
+languages make finer distinctions. The full set supported by Android is <code>zero</code>,
+<code>one</code>, <code>two</code>, <code>few</code>, <code>many</code>, and <code>other</code>.
+
+<p>The rules for deciding which case to use for a given language and quantity can be very complex,
+so Android provides you with methods such as
+{@link android.content.res.Resources#getQuantityString(int,int) getQuantityString()} to select
+the appropriate resource for you.
+
+<p>Note that the selection is made based on grammatical necessity. A string for <code>zero</code>
+in English will be ignored even if the quantity is 0, because 0 isn't grammatically different
+from 2, or any other number except 1 ("zero books", "one book", "two books", et cetera).
+Don't be misled either by the fact that, say, <code>two</code> sounds like it could only apply to
+the quantity 2: a language may require that 2, 12, 102 (et cetera) are all treated like one
+another but differently to other quantities. Rely on your translator to know what distinctions
+their language actually insists upon.
+
+<p>It's often possible to avoid quantity strings by using quantity-neutral formulations such as
+"Books: 1". This will make your life and your translators' lives easier, if it's a style that's
+in keeping with your application.
