Whenever fewer than about 50 people had voted at all, which would almost always be true, showing a percentage would inevitably look over-precise: "2 people found this review helpful (67%)." So, please don't use a percentage.

English grammar just doesn't have great-sounding syntaxes for some of these combinations, but I don't think it matters much really. Using "people" consistently is probably the least bad. 0 of 1 people, 1 of 1 people, 0 of 2 people, 1 of 2 people. Maybe add a translation note telling translators not to panic. :-)
