You mean, to each PO where you have msgid "Greece"? Yes, if that other PO 
file also requires conjugations of "Greece". But that is something that 
translation memory could handle or better there should be one PO file with 
names of countries (as, I think, there is, see Bruno Haible's message from 
few days back). Or, even something special could be scripted, but previous 
two solutions seem cleaner.

I'd also like to note here that this idea of Krzysztof's, with attributes 
and form setters in PO files, I find more and more excellent. I was 
telling Marek about maintaining *separate file* with list of 
nominative-genitive-etc. forms, but using form setters in PO files I find 
to be both more natural, faster to write, and even possibly more efficient 
at runtime.

Marek: You store to clipboard the template "|/|@${set-form genitive \"\"}", 
then upon moving to next country msgid, you just paste it and fill in the 
nominative in the front, and genitive in the ending quotes. And, eg. 
"Capital of %1 is..." becomes only "Capital of @${genitive %1} is..." Now, 
that's gotta be faster :)
