Comment (by cadic):

 From https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-
 forms.html

 > Negative and floating-point values usually represent physical entities
 for which singular and plural don’t clearly apply. In such cases, there is
 no need to use ngettext; a simple gettext call with a form suitable for
 all values will do. For example:
 > `printf (gettext ("Time elapsed: %.3f seconds"), num_milliseconds *
 0.001);`
 > Even if num_milliseconds happens to be a multiple of 1000, the output
 > `Time elapsed: 1.000 seconds`
 > is acceptable in English, and similarly for other languages.

 This means using `(int)` to convert float to integer will break the logic
 and display 1.0 as singular number.
