Perhaps visit

look for "In the English singular case,..." and read the

Got it!

From the recommended site:

--
In the English singular case, the number – always 1 – can be replaced
with "one":

          printf (ngettext ("One file removed", "%d files removed", n), n);
This works because the ‘printf’ function discards excess arguments
that are not consumed by the format string.

Junio, thank you so much for the  reply and link to the docs.
