 Function wp_default_scripts()
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/script-
 loader.php#L353 and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/script-loader.php#L354) does not properly use _n() and related
 functions for plural forms of its strings. It just uses a single, plural
 string with a placeholder for a number, i.e. `__( 'Jump forward %1
 seconds' )`.
 While this works in English, it presents a problem when translating into
 languages that have more than one plural form, or more complicated rules
 for singular form usage. For example, in Lithuanian we also use singular
 form for 21, 1241 and any other number that ends with 1 (except for 11).
 And we have two plural forms - one for numbers ending with a zero, another
 for everything else. In current situation we can not have a proper
 translation here.

 Depends on #20491 and related to #37287.
