I thought Gettext has solved this issue by using plural form string for the msgstr? And I personally don't think the issue is about the singular or plural form, because it not related to numbers or counts. The %s only address the special word used in the sentence, which is the name of the daemon, such as cyrus, smtpd, httpd, etc.
That's another problem that gettext's plural forms support solves. Read below.
I don't think other language translate that daemon name to their own language and character sets, right?
But they may add things before and after them based on the way they are pronounced, say. Like when you use "a" or "an" before an English word based on its pronounciation.
