OK, try to follow my explanations. But I must admit I did not try to UPDATE a translation for the moment – next release.

You can look your po file with Notepad or Notepad++.

OK.
You have to change the begin of the .PO file with Notepad (for french users here) to limit buggy behaviour of PoEdit

“Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n>1;\n” is very important here !
After that, always in Notepad (Notepad++), you search in the .PO file for msgid_plural and you complete with your translation like in this example.

#: s2member/includes/classes/utils-time.inc.php:55
msgctxt "s2member-front"
msgid "%s minute"
msgid_plural "%s minutes"
msgstr[0] "%s minute"
msgstr[1] "%s minutes"

When all plural forms are translated (there is not a lot), you can open the .PO file with PoEdit to complete your translation. If plural sentences are not pretranslated, PoEdit will simply fail saying your file is corrupted. The bug is supposed to be corrected … and it’s not.

If you do not try to translate sentences with plural form, PoEdit won’t have problem to generate or upload the po file.

Poedit can analyse differences between two versions. You upload your old po file in poedit and ask it to update through the new pot file. Poedit will show you the differences. Problem: Poedit is little buggy in plural forms and I had to adapt the S2member pot file to make it work with (all plural forms need to be translated directly in pot file using Notepad).
