[zanata-users] broken po files after adding msgid_plurals to pot files

[Sean Flanigan]

You're right, it looks like the Python client is using msgstr instead of
msgstr[0] for any plural strings which haven't been translated yet.

Try github commit 26108dafb0a702c87acdd3b307de51d59c3adbcc or later, and
let me know how it goes.
