Case 1: Plural and Singular Term

Assumes we have $count variable that holds a number:

if (1 === $count) {
    echo i('%d Comment', [$count]);
} else {
    echo i('%d Comments', [$count]);
}

Then to translate the string to another language:

$GLOBALS['I']['%d Comment'] = '%d Komentar';
$GLOBALS['I']['%d Comments'] = '%d Komentar';

Case 3: Possesion Rules in English

Assumes $name variable holds a person’s name:

if (str_ends_with($name, 's')) {
    echo i("%s' Home Page", [$name]);
} else {
    echo i("%s's Home Page", [$name]);
}

Then you can translate the string to another language this way:

$GLOBALS['I']["%s' Home Page"] = 'Beranda Milik %s';
$GLOBALS['I']["%s's Home Page"] = 'Beranda Milik %s';
