  I found that there are a few translations for Chinese (Hong Kong, and all other variations) need to have singular and plural separated, and here is one of them:

  Singular: Your Jetpack %1$s subscription expired yesterday!

  Plural: Your Jetpack %1$s subscription expired %2$d days ago!

  When translated to Chinese, it is expected to be like this:

  Singular: 你的 Jetpack %1$s 訂閲已於昨天到期！

  Plural: 你的 Jetpack %1$s 訂閲已於%2$d天之前到期！

  Though these are just exceptional case from general nature of Chinese locales, it may in some ways affect the translation style. How to deal with such exception?

  Do you mind listing other problematic strings? I want to make sure to report all of them.

  I may have to report one by one as I translate, I don’t know if there are more strings look like this.
