No ! It is INCORRECT, because the generated plurals are just for conjugating the verb.

Here it is ALWAYS plural in French because the verb is conjugated according to the total, but the term "autre" takes the singular or plural. This is equally true in English. E.g. in English : "Peter, Paul, Jack, John and 1 others liked this". 5 people total, but only 1 "other"; the verb is always conjugated as with the plural "they". "Peter, Paul, Jack, John and 10 others liked this". 14 people total, but 10 "others"; the verb is always conjugated as with the plural "they", "others" is now correct.

Please reconsider my message, the description does not solve the problem for "other/others" and the plural is needlessly tested on the verb which will always be conjugated with the plural (in most languages, except Slavic languages that have complex rules for plurals ignoring the hundreds and with several other forms using a genitive for some units) as there are always at least 5 people concerned in the subject.
