I don't think that you can assume that appending something will work in all
languages.  Note that it also doesn't always work in english (e.g. this/these),
as seen in this inconsistent change:

-                 _(" %d of %d tests failed, %d of these failures ignored. "),

+                 _(" %d of %d test%s failed, %d of these failures ignored. "),
