The plural of 'Baby' is 'Babys' (instead of 'Babies' – though some people also use that form) and 'Computer' doesn't change.
On the other hand, both 'Indices' and 'Indexe' are used and for 'Tempus' the only plural is 'Tempora'.
Here's the german conjugation of "mailen" (writing an e-mail), borrowed from "to mail":
Ich maile, du mailst, er/sie/es mailt, wir mailen, sie mailen.
I don't know any loanwords that break english pluralization rules in german, but for the reverse: The correct plural for "Kindergarten" would be "Kindergärten" (not "kindergartens"), which I imagine some english speakers would have problems with. And "Autobahnen" is rather unintuitive compared to "autobahns".
