trans_choice uses wrong pluralization rules for fallback

PHP Version

Database Driver & Version

MySQL 8.0.32 for Linux on x86_64

Description

The trans_choice translation function always uses the pluralization rules of the selected locale. If the provided key is not translated in this locale, it falls back to the fallback locale, but it still uses the pluralization rules of the preferred locale.

For example, Czech has 3 forms, while English has 2. If the translator must fall back to English, it should use the English pluralization rules.

Steps To Reproduce

app('translator')->setLocale('cs_CZ');
$fallback = app('translator')->getFallback();
app('translator')->addLines(['strings.apple' => ':count apple|:count apples'], $fallback);
trans_choice('strings.apple', 1); // 1 apple
trans_choice('strings.apple', 2); // 2 apples
trans_choice('strings.apple', 10); // 10 apple - WRONG
