Neat, I didn't know Q_() could handle that (I guess you are stuck
specifying only the two cases in the untranslated form, but the PO files
can do magic in the backend).

It would be nice if there were some way to mark it as "this string will
never be shown", or "will always be >= 2" as a hint for translators. I
guess those can go in a specially-formatted comment.
