 A string in a plugin of mine was translated into a few languages prior to
 me converting it to a pluralised string. It went from using `_x()` to
 using `_nx()`.

 Some translations therefore exist for the singular form but not the plural
 forms. The effect this has is that the plural forms are empty strings, and
 these empty strings get used as for the plural forms in the plugin meaning
 users cannot see the text.

 Here is the `en_GB` translation for one of the strings. Note the `Plural`
 tab contains no translation.

 /en-
 gb/default/?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=3336653&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=45095580

 I'm not sure if this is something that should be fixed at the point where
 the translation is packaged, or in WordPress at the point where the plural
 form is chosen.

 Thoughts?
