 Pootle have knowledge about how each language use plural forms and
 translations can be entered properly.
 But PO/POT including msgid_plural doesn't contain appropriate Plural-Forms
 header, that break translation (at least some languages).
 See attached screenshot. I tested sugar-toolkit.po for Japanese.

 + Without_Header.png: original PO generated by Pootle server,
   Plural-Forms header is missing
 + With_Header.png: manually edited PO, includes Plural-Forms.

 POT is periodically generated and merged into POs.  So I think even if the
 PO header is edited manually it will be overwritten by generated POT, so
 POT generation has to be fixed.
