    Previously we have had cases of the `n__` method being used to control
    which different strings should show up in the singular and plural cases
    for a string. This doesn't work in languages such as Chinese Simplified,
    as this language only has one target plural form - which means the
    translator needs to determine which string should show up.
    
    This is particularly an issue when different variables are used in each
    version of the string, as variables present in the source string for
    one case may not show up in the target string for the chosen plural form
    from the translators - which will cause linting to fail.
