     * For even more complex sentences, it may just be easiest to provide a
     * template, which will be replaced, if the count is singular or plural.
     * Both singularTemplate and pluralTemplate are expected to be String.format
     * templates with a %d in them, which will be replaced with the actual count
     * number. If the count == 1, then the singularTemplate will be used, else
     * the pluralTemplate will be used. Usage example:
     *
     * <pre>
     * String message = PluralTemplateHelper(count, "I will buy %d car if it has a good price",
     * "I will buy %d cars if they have a good price");
     * </pre>
     *
     * @param count The count of items
     * @param singularTemplate The singular template
     * @param pluralTemplate The plural template
     * @return
