informations
Facts and details
Informations is a plural form of information that sounds wrong to most English speakers—information typically functions as an uncountable noun, like water or furniture.
But in legal contexts, informations is standard: an information is a formal criminal charge filed by a prosecutor without a grand jury indictment, and a court may hear multiple informations.
Outside law, the plural appears in some technical and academic writing, particularly by non-native speakers following patterns from other languages.
