Hi,

from the gettext manual..

only one form:
     Some languages only require one single form. There is no 
distinction between
the singular and plural form. An appropriate header entry would look 
like this:


Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;

     Languages with this property include:

     Finno-Ugric family
         Hungarian
     Asian family
         Japanese, Korean
     Turkic/Altaic family
         Turkish

So you will have less work with ngettext :)


Regards,

Jens
