Planet CakePHP

While working on a multilingual app using Cakephp I was reminding myself  of the best way to add variables to localised strings in cakePHP and I cam across the __n() function which amazingly I had never used before. 
The __n() function is described in the API documentation as:
/**
* Returns correct plural form of message identified by $singular and $plural for count $count.
* Some languages have more than one form for plural messages dependent on the count.
*/
function __n($singular, $plural, $count, $return = false)
Thus it is simply a means to overcome the common problem of pluralising the text display when a variable quantity is specified.  Powerful stuff.  When used in combination with variables in localised strings in CakePHP it offers just about everything you need to provide a coherent, localised version of your site.
