The list is available in $GLOBALS[‘l10n’][ $text_domain ]. To get the looong list of translatable WordPress strings just use: print ‘<pre>’ . htmlspecialchars( print_r( $GLOBALS[‘l10n’][‘default’], TRUE ) ) . ‘</pre>’; Do not use these strings in your theme or plugin. They are internal, de facto private. They can change any time, even in minor updates. … Read more

esc_html_e() and esc_attr_e() are merely wrapper functions for _ to save a little bit of typing and help with readability. You’re right, there isn’t one for _n, so you’ll just need to do the “wrapping” yourself: printf( esc_attr( _n( ‘%s item’, ‘%s items’, $count, ‘textdomain’ ) ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );

You’ve already given the answer using auto_update_translation. I wasn’t aware this didn’t work after manual updates (and haven’t tried it) but perhaps also look at async_update_translation which according the documentation “Asynchronously upgrades language packs after other upgrades have been made”.
