Title:
  [i18n] Confused about using plural forms

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the i18n component documentation the plural form should be used as:

   * Translate the given input string \a singular or \a plural (depending on 
the number of items \a n)
   * using gettext. Should be called like this:
   *          tr("%n file", "%n files", count)

  But this does not work as expected:

  The result string from this expression is:  ("%n file" or "%n files"
  with the "%n" instead the value)

  checking at the unit2d code I saw that the tr function automatically
  replaces the %n with the count value, but I am not sure if this is the
  correct solution.

  For now I am using  "tr("%1 file", "%1 files", count).arg(count)"
