Title:

Bug description:

  "person liked this"

  "people liked this"

  These strings are untranslatable in many languages, as the number is
  missing from the sentence, and they cannot be translated in a correct
  or understandable way, as the number would need to be rearranged
  within the sentence.

  In general, it's always a bad idea to split sentences, which in most
  cases results in missing context or untranslatable strings.
