Add class for translation of dynamic elements: number of notes, reviews, etc.

I suggest add methods for different languages to form on doc-site correct plurals for different dynamic elements: the total note count, the number of upvotes, etc.
Maybe something like this:
Contributors from each country will only have to implement their plural method and call in the code:
<?php
$num_notes = 1;
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['note', 'notes',], 'en',); // 1 note
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['заметка', 'заметки', 'заметок',], 'ru',); // 1 заметка
$num_notes = 2;
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['note', 'notes',], 'en',); // 2 notes
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['заметка', 'заметки', 'заметок',], 'ru',); // 2 заметки
$num_notes = 5;
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['note', 'notes',], 'en',); // 5 notes
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline($num_notes, ['заметка', 'заметки', 'заметок',], 'ru',); // 5 заметок
// Phrase
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline(38, ['pink flamingo', 'pink flamingos',], 'en',); // 38 pink flamingos
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline(38, ['розовый фламинго', 'розовых фламинго', 'розовых фламинго',], 'ru',); // 38 розовых фламинго
// And if you want the text not to break between the number and the next word, you can add an unbreakable space:
echo NumberBaseDeclinsion::decline(8, ['comment', 'comments',], 'en', ' ',); // 8 comments
More examples can be found at the link.
In particular, if you translate the total number of notes of the contribution notes, then for the Russian language you will need 1 singular form + 2 plural forms. And for English, only two forms are enough. Therefore, a separate method (or function, if it is decided to write in a functional style) will be required for each language, which will form the correct string with a number for its language
