      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      All OS affected, JDK 12 affected.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      CompactNumberFormat return wrong texts for many languages that use the plural form for numbers.
      E.g. German: 1_000_000 is '1 Million' (correct in JDK 12), 2_000_000 should be '2 Millionen' but the result is '2 Milion').
      Same for Italian: 1_000_000 is '1 millione' (correct in JDK 12), 2_000_000 should be '2 milioni' but the result is '2 milione'.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
       NumberFormat compactNumberFormat = CompactNumberFormat.getCompactNumberInstance(Locale.GERMAN, NumberFormat.Style.LONG);
      System.out.println(compactNumberFormat.format(2_000_000));

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      2 Millionen
      ACTUAL -
      2 Million

      FREQUENCY : always
