These messages contain substitution variables for preformatted numbers using locale-sensitive digits and group separators.

This means that these variables may not be used safely as the 1st parameter given to the {{PLURAL: number|forms...}} parser function calls.
For example to conditionally format the plural forms of the term "result(s)", or for formatting ordinals indicating the range of search results displayed.

This is because the PLURAL: parserfunction in Mediawiki only accepts raw numbers using only ASCII digits, and English group separators (for large values) or decimal separors (for non-integer values) and cannot guess for which language it was preformatted (e.g. ambiguities on the meaning of group and decimal separators, and probably not supporting alternate native digits for other scripts).

There should be other parameters passing the unformatted numeric values.
