I'm with John: add a note that a grammatical instruction not relevant to 
Japanese was omitted.  You could use a footnote if the Japanese language 
has those.

But how in the world does the language work without singular and 
plural?!  Are there other languages like that?  (I admit I'm showing my 
lack of education here!)  You may have to use a lot of "one or more" in 
the translation unless not specifying a number implies that.
