gettext() cannot find translations for messages that have plural forms. I would expect that gettext(s) is equivalent to ngettext(s, s, 1) for such messages, as it is implemented in GNU gettext. >>> import gettext >>> with open('test.mo', 'rb') as mo: trans = gettext.GNUTranslations(mo) ... >>> trans.ngettext("egg", "eggs", 1) 'Ei' >>> trans.gettext("egg") 'egg'

>>> import gettext
>>> with open('test.mo', 'rb') as mo: trans = gettext.GNUTranslations(mo)
... 
>>> trans.ngettext("egg", "eggs", 1)
'Ei'
>>> trans.gettext("egg")
'egg'
