Spin-off from bug 905933 comment 1

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/1ed5a88cd4d0/dom/locales/en-US/chrome/layout/HtmlForm.properties#l29

# LOCALIZATION NOTE (XFilesSelected): this string is shown on a
# <input type='file' multiple> when there are more than one selected file.
# %S will be a number greater or equal to 2.
XFilesSelected=%S files selected.

This works for English for not for locales with complex plural form rules

Problem is that this string is used in C++

So it depends on finding a solution to bug 477831
