If you could deliver a proper translated form, than this would be possible. 
But that would require a whole new translator-side system, as Gettext 
relies on programmer providing singular/plural both in order to extract 
such strings, and to present them in PO files.

On the other hand, I think it is also nice for a programmer to use two 
parameter call, in order not to have to use if (n == 1) ... else ...; all 
the time.
