Some words within some realms strings are always pluralized

The Bug:

Some words within some realms strings are always pluralized.

This is an issue because when the value before the given noun is "1", the noun's plural form is used instead of its singular one, therefore making the string grammatically incorrect in some cases.

Affected Strings:

Before reading the table, please note the following:

  • Words colored in GREEN are correct.

  • Words colored in RED are incorrect.

Alternatively, instead of having one string cover both the plural and non-plural variants of the word, two separate translation strings could be created, one of which covers the plural variant and the other that covers the non-plural variant.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Display any of the affected strings as listed above by using the command provided below and replacing "XYZ" with the string's translation key.

    /tellraw @s {"translate":"XYZ"}
  2. Look closely at the affected words within the string.

  3. Take note as to whether or not some words within some realms strings are always pluralized.

Observed Behavior:

Some words are always pluralized.

Expected Behavior:

All words would be correctly singularized or pluralized where appropriate.

Just as a note, I'd highly recommend having two separate translation strings for "mco.configure.world.invite.narration", one of which covers the plural variant and the other that covers the non-plural variant of the word since this string is a narration string and it would probably sound perplexing if the narrator were to narrate "You have %s new invite(s)".

Updated this ticket to include one more realms string affected by this issue.
