Translations are kept in external files (without any runtime association). As a consequence, they cannot contain runtime entities; and therefore, you should not use f-strings for internationalizations. Usually, the translation machinery has special ways to provide parameters for translations. For example with `zope.i18nmessageid`, you can use `_(msg, mapping=<parameter_dict>)` to provide parameters to the translations -- as in your case `count`). Check, what parameter support your translation machinery support. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
