Can't we just provide some tr() overload, in which you could also specify
plural and paucal forms in source code, next to the number? E.g.
tr("Found %n item" /*singular*/, "Found %n items" /*paucal*/, "Found %n items"
/*plural*/, m_numberOfItemsFound);
In this way the English in the source code could be good enough.
