Comment:
Hi Ed,
When you run makemessages for the first time (i.e. a `django.po` file is
going to be created for you), these plural form PO files header fields are
copied by Django from its own .po files (found in
`django/conf/locale/<LOCALE NAME>/LC_MESSAGES/*.po`)
There is no locally available database of plural forms formulas, nor a
fancy scheme to e.g. get it from a repository.
This means Django unfortunately has no way to insert the right header
there because there is no `ht` translation for Django itself so there is
no `django/conf/locale/ht/LC_MESSAGES/*.po` and so the generic `"Plural-
Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"` value as written by the
GNU gettext CLI tools is left intact.
One workaround could be to use another locale with the same plural forms
formula, like `es`, but then you'll have to edit the `Language*` fields
:-(
