Use the `count` placeholder name for strings which might have different translations depending on the number of results, which enables nicer messages, e.g. "1 match" instead of "1 match(es)". `count` is the reserved placeholder for plural forms used in i18next[1]. Translations can use different suffixes to provide the right messages for all the plural forms applicable to that language. To find out which suffixes should be used for a particular language, this JSFiddle[2] can be used. [1]: https://www.i18next.com/translation-function/plurals [2]: https://jsfiddle.net/6bpxsgd4

NOTE: GitLocalize most likely will not support the extra plural forms in different languages, so in order to add/modify them, the translator will have to make PRs. Also,
i18next-json-sync(the CLI tool to extract translatable strings) does not support plural keys (it simply removes them). See #2660 for more information.
