pluralize and singularize for spanish language

sorry for my english...

I have a rails application developed to spain, therefore, all content is in spanish, so, I have a search box to search in a mysql database, all rows are in spanish, I'd like to improve my search to allow to users to search keywords in singular or plural form, for example:

keyword: patatas
found: patata

keyword: veces
found: vez

keyword: vez
found: veces

keyword: actividades
found: actividad

In english, this could be relatively easy with help of singularize and pluralize methods ...

where `searching_field` like '%singularized_keyword%' or `searching_field` like '%pluralized_keyword%'

But, for spanish....

Some help?

Thanks!
