gettext() cannot find translations for messages that have plural forms. I would expect that gettext(s) is equivalent to ngettext(s, s, 1) for such messages, as it is implemented in GNU gettext.

>>> import gettext
>>> with open('test.mo', 'rb') as mo: trans = gettext.GNUTranslations(mo)
... 
>>> trans.ngettext("egg", "eggs", 1)
'Ei'
>>> trans.gettext("egg")
'egg'

Hi there,

I worked on a patch for this issue (see attached pull request).

I would be happy to discuss it with people involved in gettext module maintenance but I'm not sure how to contact them. Is there a dedicated mailing list or an IRC channel or something? I've found i18n-sig but it has been inactive for 5 years...

Best regards
Gilles
