Description
The .po files generated using this command doesn't add a plural forms to the header ("Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"), so translator tools (like poedit or lokalize) doesn't recognize plurals strings.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Yes, currently the tool assumes the person doing the translation is in the best position to add the right plural form expression to the header of a newly created application-level
.pomessage catalog. This is especially true when localizing to a language not already bundled with Django.For languages already included with Django, both #6505 and #11161 already report this and propose approaches to solving it.
Thus I'm closing this as a duplicate.
