What's the approriate way to do plurals in PHP with/without a template system?

For example, you have the variable $num, and you want to echo out You have $num peaches. Or something. Right now I do:
echo 'You have ' . $num . ' peach' . ($num!=1 ? 'es' : '') . '.';
but I can imagine that's not the proper way to do things.

Sure, it's not a problem for most of us, but I'm considering switching to a template program of sorts soon, and wonder if there is a standard we should be following
