Description
This is a hybrid of _n() and _x() . It supports context and plurals.
Used when you want to use the appropriate form of a string with context based on whether a number is singular or plural.
Example of a generic phrase which is disambiguated via the context parameter:
printf( _nx( '%s group', '%s groups', $people, 'group of people', 'text-domain' ), number_format_i18n( $people ) );
printf( _nx( '%s group', '%s groups', $animals, 'group of animals', 'text-domain' ), number_format_i18n( $animals ) );
