_n_noop() WP 2.5.0

Registers plural strings in POT file, but does not translate them.

Used when you want to keep structures with translatable plural strings and use them later when the number is known.

Example:

$message = _n_noop( '%s post', '%s posts', 'text-domain' );
...
printf( translate_nooped_plural( $message, $count, 'text-domain' ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );

No Hooks.
