I don't know it myself. I would expect _() to return the singular form
as you suggest. I didn't find any occurrence in the CKAN code base of
this situation though so I'm not sure what's the expected behaviour.
Try an create a minimal example calling babel directly to see how that
works, and then move up the stack.
