Component:  Administration  |     Version:  2.1

 What happens:
 If the number of comments, posts or cats in the Dashboard is greater than
 a thousand and the current locale has defined different from default
 plural rules the <code>ngettext</code>
  function spits an error.

 Why:
 The aforementioned numbers are passed through <code>number_format</code>
 before usage, which adds a coma between digits groups. Thus the number is
 no more the valid number, <code>ngettext</code> expects.

 Solution:
 Could we sacrifice the formatting of the numbers? If we could the patch
 below is relevant.
