with gettext version 0.22.5, Somali (so) and Cantonese (yue) stopped
working.
If I remove language files for these two languages, the runserver works
fine,
if I add back these two languages, error: ValueError: invalid token in
plural form: EXPRESSION
Also, makemessages CommandError: Type 'manage.py help makemessages' for
usage information.
Whereas, if I run makemessages -l so -l yue it works fine, but still the
project does not start, yielding the same error.
What's even weirder: if I set `makemessages -x de` (that should be
irrelevant), then makemessages runs also fine.
Compilemessages runs also just fine.
This is a weird regression. Tested with python 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, all the
same, Django 3.2.19, 4.2.11, 5.0.2.
Quick fix: if needed, I can generate a quick translation for the Django
.po files, using ChatGPT, but I don't know anyone who speaks Somali or
Cantonese.
