Java API for plural forms of English words

Question

Are there any Java API(s) which will provide plural form of English words (e.g. cacti for cactus)?

Answer 1

I know there is simple pluralize() function in Ruby on Rails, maybe you could get that through JRuby. The problem really isn't easy, I saw pages of rules on how to pluralize and it wasn't even complete. Some rules are not algorithmic - they depend on stem origin etc. which isn't easily obtained. So you have to decide how perfect you want to be.
