Internationalization

 Plural functions require that you pass them two versions of the same message: a message in singular form (`number = 1`) and a message in plural form (`number != 1`). This is because those are the English plural forms. However, other languages may have more plural forms or no plural forms at all. That is why you must specify an integer, `number`, that is the number of items represented in your message.
 
-TODO: sprintf for sentences with more than one item that can be in singular form or plural form.

 === Using Context Functions ===
 Context functions are used to handle cases where an English string may have a different meaning depending on the context. When that happens, chances are other languages use different words for each one of those meanings. If you use a context-free internationalization function (`translate` or `translatePlural`) to translate two messages that contain the same text, when you generate a translation template (POT file) from the sources, both messages are treated as a single message, and translators can only translate the message one way or another. If instead you use a context function (`translateWithContext` or `translatePluralWithContext`) and specify a different context for each message, translators will be able to translate each message differently.
