Description

#16043 has a number of bad string extractions for translation, in violation of Translating.

  1. A few instances where a variable is interpolated before being passed to _(), e.g. _("Reminder: <strong> All #{hosts.size} hosts are selected </strong>")
  2. Many instances where the source string uses plural language, but the n_() plural method isn't used, e.g. the line above or __("Select all<b> %s </b> hosts")
  3. Trailing whitespace in translated strings, e.g. __("All <b> %d </b> hosts are selected. "). If significant, it should be added after translation.

I don't quite sure if plural method suits in this case,
those sentences should be always in plural, because it about multiple host selection, right?

If they're always multiple then they absolutely should be using plural translation functions. Plural forms are more complex than simply one or many. (And in any case, "multiple" may still be one host.)
