thanks

I set plural forms as
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;\n"

the I checked it with msgfmt

$ msgfmt -c Documents/gnome312-translating/gnome-control-center.master.ms.po
Documents/gnome312-translating/gnome-control-center.master.ms.po:5:
nplurals = 1...
Documents/gnome312-translating/gnome-control-center.master.ms.po:4106:
...but some messages have 2 plural forms
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

I rectfied this by

msgid "%i day ago"
msgid_plural "%i days ago"
msgstr[0] ""
#msgstr[1] ""

is this the correct way to do it?
