You're more than welcome! And I have to thank you for your dedicated
time!

I would like to (try to) cast some more light on why you need the _() on
the ngettext function when you're using the N_() macro.

The N_() macro only _marks_ a string as translatable, it's different
from the _() that _handle_ the string. The N_() macro defers the actual
translation of the string, so if you want to really have the string
translated at runtime, you also have to call the handling function _().

Sorry if I sound boring! (but I'm rather keen on all these i18n aspects)

Cheers.
