So you _do_ have the same plurals expression as my language! That's a  
fun surprise. :)

I've copied that expression into the evolution ka.po file, and msgfmt  
is passing it now. I've just committed that file. I'll start on the  
rest of the files, and send you a list of the ones committed, and any  
problems I encounter (hopefully none :) ).

As Danilo says, if you have your correct plurals header set in your  
translation editor, or in the PO file when it's generated,  
automatically gettext will create only the required plurals fields.  
My PO files only ever have msgstr[0] fields, no msgstr[1] at all.

So check your editor. Have a look at the .png file I've attached  
here. Your plurals settings should be the same as mine. Make sure you  
have these fields filled in, with your details.

(I don't use Kbabel, because X11 in OSX doesn't support entering or  
displaying my language :(  but I've opened it and made this  
screenshot as an example.)

It's going to be a happy story. :)  I always like stories with a  
happy ending.

I'm a long way from being an expert on the GTP, but I'm happy to  
help. :)

I'll commit as many files as I can, because that means they will be  
updated to the latest versions of the strings, whenever changes  
occur, and then you can update the current translations, not waste  
time on strings that aren't being used anymore.

So, submitting your files is working, and back to CVS for me!

BTW, Vladimir, don't worry too much about learning CVS for Gnome,  
because Gnome is swapping to SVN soon. The cut-off date is Friday 8th  
March. Please see this wiki article:

http://live.gnome.org/Subversion

and this page is really helpful on comparisons between SVN and CVS:

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Subversion

Good luck! :)

(your CVS submitter goes back to work... :D )
