I strongly suspect this comes from a misunderstanding of plural forms handling. By looking at the ru.po files, I found three forms msgstr[0], msgstr[1] and msgstr[2]. Isn't the [0] form for being used when COUNT=0, the [1] when COUNT=1 and [2] when COUNT>1 This would explain what I found. All languages but lt, ru and uk would then need adding a [2] form for plural. This is what I did for french, though not being really sure... May someone confirm?
