I can't translate strings such as "2 weeks" to Hebrew and Arabic properly.
There is a word in Hebrew and a word in Arabic for 2 weeks, but I get an
error message "`The expression '%d' is not present in the translation`" in
Transifex and also `msgfmt -vc django.po` raises exceptions. In some
languages, with some plural forms, such as `n == 1` or `n == 2`, we don't
need `%d` to be present in the translation. Also "1 week" can be written
in words "one week", also in Hebrew, and I think it's a better translation
than "1 week". I also think English can use `"one week"` instead of `"%d
week"` ("1 week", but in English, there is the issue of capital letters).
