Correct.
But for the cases where the string is a simple "Duplicating %'d file"
string. Which is usually the case when using ngettext for getting a
singular/plural translation. Removing the %'d in the translation has
no effect because it is evaluated to something like
printf("Duplicating one file", 1). Ofcourse if more then one control
sequences are in a single singular/plural
message then all of the control sequences must be kept. If something
like "%'d file in %B" is needed then it should be done
by printf(gettext("%s in %B"), ngettext("%'d fi;e, %'d files,
(int)files), special_var);
