.. note:: Plural form and po files



    Django does not support custom plural equations in po files. As all

    translation catalogs are merged, only the plural form for the main Django po

    file (in ``django/conf/locale/<lang_code>/LC_MESSAGES/django.po``) is

    considered. Plural forms in all other po files are ignored. Therefore, you

    should not use different plural equations in your project or application po

    files.
