In practice, already, it's so (from gettext.tr.po): 
    "Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"

Subject lines:
    #: src/msgl-check.c:384
    #, c-format
    msgid "but some messages have only one plural form"
    msgid_plural "but some messages have only %lu plural forms"
    msgstr[0] "...ama bazı iletiler tek çoğul biçem içeriyor"
    msgstr[1] "...ama bazı iletiler sadece %lu çoğul biçem içeriyor"
