          <dict>
            <key>NSStringLocalizedFormatKey</key>
            <string>%#@localized_format_key@</string>
            <key>localized_format_key</key>
            <dict>
              <key>NSStringFormatSpecTypeKey</key>
              <string>NSStringPluralRuleType</string>
              <key>NSStringFormatValueTypeKey</key>
              <string>d</string>
              <key>one</key>
              <string>Only one pluralization found.</string>
              <key>other</key>
              <string>Wow, you have %s pluralizations!</string>
              <key>zero</key>
              <string>You have no pluralization.</string>
            </dict>
          </dict>
        </dict>
      </plist>

      This format should only be used to provide alternate strings for languages that have different plural rules. To specify language plural rules that can’t be represented by key-value pairs in the iOS Localizable .strings file, use a .stringsdict file.
