Making it plural doesn't always mean "replace one word by another".
The right thing to do it:
add_one = "Add one thing"
add_multiple = "Add {n} things"
Then you'll provide the full sentence for each language. Of course some languages will need more cases, like slavic language where it's 1, 2-4, 5+, so depending on the languages you need to support you need to put more than 2 strings.
