Sorry, if I incorrectly interpreted your proposal, it was unclear to me
at what stage you planned to expand the special markup such as %|

Doing this at runtime means adding large dictionaries to the distribution 
(together with complex algorithms) to perform a dictionary lookup.
Or alternatively to use an external online API that inflects the words.

But what we could do better than that is to improve po-mode to help
translators to fill all plural forms in the existing format, but to do
this automatically using either a downloaded or online dictionary.
