Yeah, I saw that, but it does require the developer to know the syntax, and it
puts more work on translators. I think there are certainly contexts where you
need to do that, but not in my above example.

I was reading somewhere too about plurals being problematic in other languages
like Chinese and Russian, but my language skills don't extend that far. 

I do see Slovak mentioned in
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Internationalization,_plural_forms,_context,_and_more_RFC,
so that's interesting! 

Perhaps I just need to read more before I comment too much.
