Details:

In some places in Savane (at least the trackers), one can see strings like
``19 item(s)''.  Savane should use ngettext() for these strings to make the
proper form.



This would make two improvements:



* Savane would look more intelligent in English: ``1 item'', but ``19
items''.



* More importantly, some languages, such as Russians, have more than two forms
for plural nouns.  ngettext() allows to correctly handle them all and avoid
incorrect grammar or constructs like ``19
&#1101;&#1083;&#1077;&#1084;&#1077;&#1085;&#1090;(&#1072;,&#1086;&#1074;)''
with multiple endings in parentheses.
