Thank you for information.  If you can, please bug report to GNU
gettext developers <address@hidden>.

In gettext-0.14.1/gettext-tools/src/plural-table.c, cs plural
style defined it:

    { "cs", "Czech",             "nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 
: n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);" },
