Comment:

 > I'm not sure if this is something that should be fixed at the point
 where the translation is packaged, or in WordPress at the point where the
 plural form is chosen.

 How about a 3rd option? The GlotPress import process should be treating
 the singular & singular-plural originals as different strings, thus not
 marking the singular translation as a translation of the pluralised form.

 I believe I've seen some code in GlotPress which matches translations
 based on the singular-only string, so I believe this probably belongs as a
 GlotPress bug.

 I wasn't able to [https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-WP/issues find a
 issue in GlotPress] for this kind of behaviour. I'm marking this as
 `close` as I feel this should be fixed/reported upstream, but that this
 ticket should remain until that happens (if it happens).
