    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When there are both simple and plural string with same singular they are
extracted as only plural leaving out possibility to translate the simple form
as that.

Example file (in Python, but the language doesn't seem to affect this, tested
with C as well):


n = 1
ngettext("Language", "Languages", n)
_("Language")


After running xgettext test.py, I'd expect to have two entries, but there is
just one:


#: test.py:2 test.py:3
msgid "Language"
msgid_plural "Languages"
msgstr[0] ""
msgstr[1] ""




This might be just different incarnation of
