Yes. But using the "nplurals=1; plural=0;" string still gives the 
following error

$ msgfmt -vc -o /dev/null file-roller.HEAD.bn_IN.po
bn_IN.po:11: nplurals = 1...
bn_IN.po:124: ...but some messages have 2 plural forms
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
259 translated messages.


String in question reads as follows:

#. secondary text
#: ../data/glade/update.glade.h:2 ../src/dlg-update.c:181
#, c-format
msgid ""
"The file has been modified with an external application. If you don't 
update "
"the version in the archive, all of your changes will be lost."
msgid_plural ""
"There are %d files that have been modified with an external 
application. If "
"you don't update the files in the archive, all of your changes will be 
lost."
msgstr[0] ""
"ফাইলটি কোনো পৃথক অ্যাপ্লিকেশন সহযোগে পরিবর্তন করা হয়েছে। বর্তমান আর্কাইভের মধ্যে "
"উপস্থিত ফাইলের সংস্করণ আপডেট না করা হলে, আপনার করা সব পরিবর্তন বর্জন করা হবে।"
msgstr[1] ""


Are the msgstr[1] strings required to be manually removed or the 
msgstr[0] content copied in for them?

Thanks
