The algorithm for pluralizations in `:en` is as simple as:
```ruby
entry[count == 1 ? 0 : 1]
lookup_key = :zero if count == 0 && entry.has_key?(:zero)
lookup_key ||= count == 1 ? :one : :other
entry[lookup_key]
```
I.e. the translation denoted as `:one` is regarded as singular, the other is used as plural (including the count being zero).
The translation denoted as `:one` is regarded as singular, and the `:other` is used as plural. If the count is zero, and a `:zero` entry is present, then it will be used instead of `:other`.
If the lookup for the key does not return a Hash suitable for pluralization, an `I18n::InvalidPluralizationData` exception is raised.
