#37811 closed defect (bug) (duplicate)

Strings cannot be translated properly in languages with multiple plurals

Description

In 4.6, the function wp_print_admin_notice_templates was added to /wp-admin/includes/update.php. In this function, a check was added to show a singular or a plural string, depending on the number of plugins/themes installed.

However, the plural strings are added with __() instead of _n(), which means they cannot be translated properly in languages with multiple plural forms, such as Gàidhlig / Scottish Gaelic (​as reported here).

Please rewrite this function so that _n() is used for the plural strings.

We can't use _n() there because the number comes from the JavaScript. It was a conscious decision to use __() until we have better JS i18n support in core.

@TacoVerdo For your information, JS i18n support is being tracked in this ticket #20491
