_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 ) );

Internal function — this function is designed to be used by the kernel itself. It is not recommended to use this function in your code.

No Hooks.

Return

Array. Array of translation information for the strings.

$singular(string) (required)
Singular form to be localized.
$plural(string) (required)
