I shouldn't have used gettext() and ngettext() directly in my examples
above.  Let me restate the second example:

To say:   "I have 0 apples", "I have 1 apple" and "I have 7 apples"
          (where the number varies and is in the variable $count)
We write:  my_ngettext(array("one" => "I have %d apple",
                             "many" => "I have %d apples",
                             count => $count,
                             arg1 => $count));


Then the my_ngettext function looks like this:

function my_ngettext($params) {
    // Have ngettext() give us the localized value
    $localized = ngettext($data['one'], $data['many'], $data['count']);

    // $localized is now "I have %d apples" if count == 7
    return sprintf($localized, $params['arg1']);
}

In G2, our my_ngettext function is a lot more complicated since we have
multiple translation domains, etc, etc.
