 Some strings in the iOS app provide accessibility labels for numbers.
 Like
 - %@ million
 - %@ billion
 - %@ trillion
 - etc.

 Depending on the value the placeholder can have, we need to be able to
 translate them to both singular and plural forms.
 In German we say:

 - 0,01 Millionen (plural)
 - 0,1 Millionen (plural)
 - 1 Million (no decimal value -> singular!)
 - 1,0 Millionen (decimal value -> plural, even if decimal value is 0)
 - 2 Millionen (plural)
 - 2,0 Millionen (plural)

 This applies to other languages as well, I think.
