Sep 6, 2012 at 10:11 comment added Yves I'm talking about the standard rule for foreign words (Pluralform von Fremdwörter) in the reformed spelling and grammar rules, not the standard rule for the German language, and we agree on this. You did'nt read the end of the first phrase.
Sep 5, 2012 at 21:41 comment added Philipp -1. There is no standard rule to add "s" to form a plural–in fact, German words rarely use "s" as plural marker. It's very common for words derived from English, though. I also strongly disagree with your other suggestion. When used in a text, "Assembly" is just a normal German word, and should therefore be capitalized like any German noun, and never put in quotes (it's not a quotation!) or italicized. Regarding the plural form, I'd consider both variants ("Assemblys" and "Assemblies") correct, with a slight preference towards the former, which is analogous to "Babys" and "Partys".
