Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
The following string is part of the translations: "Portal card bonus: ${player_name} gets a bonus ${gem_cnt} crystal${plural_str} "
This doesn't work in all languages. For example, in Dutch there are two common plurals ("-s" and "-en"), and often they are not just an independent suffix but change the original word as well (in this case, "kristal" becomes "kristallen", so the L is doubled). There are also other plural forms, athough more rare.
I also don't see how ${plural_str} is determined. This should be reworked to make it language-independent.• Please explains what you wanted to do, what you do and what happened

On the other hand, crystal${plural_str}
is a very bad idea for some languages where the plural mark is not simply a suffix.
That's the case in French for this particular noun :
1 cristal, but 2 (or more) cristaux.
You might maybe have translation for {crystal} and {crystals} to avoid the full sentence maybe, but not just a suffix ! At least in French...
Hope it helps, thanks for the nice looking adaptation :-)
