+ * Defines an annotation object for strings that require plural forms. Note that

+ * be passed to format_plural().
+ *
+ * For example, the annotation needs to look like this:
+ * @code
+ *   count_labels = @ PluralTranslation(singular = "1 item", plural = "@count items"),
+ * @endcode
+ * Remove spaces after @ in your actual plugin - these are put into this sample
+ * code so that it is not recognized as annotation.
+ *
+ * An example of code that uses the annotation above can be:
+ * @code
+ *   format_plural($count, $info['count_labels']['singular'], $info['count_labels']['plural']);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @Annotation
+ *
+ * @ingroup plugin_translatable
