<p>Aside from the fact that it won't work? It's trying to pluralise but that only works if the variable is called <code>count</code> and neither variable here is called that.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The <code>:count</code> is being passed, and the pluralisation will be triggered, even though <code>%{count}</code> doesn't appear in the string itself.</p>
<p>I think this is a neat workaround to avoid changing the parameter names in the existing strings.</p>

<p>The core problem that is that there are two numeric variables here and either one could be singular or plural but pluralisation only supports a single controlling variable.</p>

<p>Yes, this is a limitation. I've done some research and found very little on the topic (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24303896/i18n-pluralization-of-a-sentence-with-few-counts" rel="nofollow">1</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45199525/rails-5-can-you-pluralize-two-words-in-a-string-with-two-different-counts" rel="nofollow">2</a>). But I think that in many cases, there only needs to be one noun to pluralise, and so I think we're better off merging this as-is, rather than waiting for perfection.</p>
