Use the Trim Plurals Flag of the Translate Table to indicate whether recognized plurals are to be trimmed using English language standards. The choices are: OFF, indicating trimming of plurals should not be done; and ON, indicating trimming of plurals should be done. Besides simple trimming of “s” and “es”, “ies” is replaced by “y” and “lves” is replaced by “lf”. However, Latin plurals ending in “ae” or “i” are not handled, nor are special spellings such as “mice” from “mouse” or “oxen” from “ox”.

Example

When the trim plurals flag is set to ON plural endings are removed so the record or records associated with the word will be found in either case.

Plurals ending in “ae” or “i” are not handled, nor are special spellings such as “mice” from “mouse” or “oxen” from “ox”.
