#
# # Translate the number of files with plural rules
# dngettext "errors", "1 file", "%{count} files", count

# are defined inside Ecto, we need to translate them dynamically.
# This requires us to call the Gettext module passing our gettext
# backend as first argument.

# Note we use the "errors" domain, which means translations
# should be written to the errors.po file. The :count option is
# set by Ecto and indicates we should also apply plural rules.
