When ngettext is called with a msgid and that msgid has a msgstr that is
also a valid msgid in the same catalog, the return value is not the
msgstr, but instead is a single character from the msgstr. The problem
seems to be that the msgstr is passed back into ngettext and since it has
a valid value in the catalog, the code breaks into the else block and
returns the 0 index character...
django.ngettext = function(singular, plural, count) {
var value = django.catalog[singular];
if (typeof(value) == 'undefined') {
return (count == 1) ? singular : plural;
} else {
return value[django.pluralidx(count)];
}
};
The example in OpenStack Horizon (see link below) is that the French
bundle contains the following:
msgid "Image"
msgstr "Image"
This should return "Image" ... instead it returns "I" ... the result of
django.catalog["Image"] being "Image" , which then breaks into the else
block of the following if statement, resulting in a return value of
"Image"[0] ... or the capital letter "I". For languages where the msgstr
does not match a valid key in the file, this problem does not occur.
