According to the gettext manual  
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/ 
gettext_150.html>, Estonian is indeed
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;".

Carlos, why aren't all the plural forms given in the gettext manual  
already incorporated into Rosetta? That would save a lot of time for  
both you (one lot of data entry instead of dozens) and the translators  
of those languages (not having to go research the plural forms  
themselves and then wait for you).
