msgid "C_omment Line(s)"

Should be:

msgid[0] "C_omment Line"
msgid[1] "C_omment Lines"

and 

msgid "_Uncomment Line(s)"

should be 

msgid[0] "_Uncomment Line"
msgid[1] "_Uncomment Line(s)"

See http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals
for more information on this issue.

So from reading that it looks like we can just use:
GettextCatalog.GetPluralString (string singular, string plural, int n);
in these situations, correct?

But your cited example is from xml and I don't see an easy way to
change it there.

This is actually not where we need plural forms: words are affected
only by the number, and there's no number here.

What we want here is to get two separate strings: one for one line,
other for more lines.  Or is there a language where this is not
sufficient?

I thought that was the whole point of GetPluralString. It allowed
languages with strange pluralization rules to determine if a word
should be pluralized or not. The number is implicit it seems.

How does ngettext behave when you have more than one plural form? Is
it supported?

eg. in czech we have for line(s)
1    radek
2..4 radky
5... radku

So, should we change the xml format to make it support plurals,
rephrase the text or keep it as it is?

Let's keep it as it is.
