OOps, that'svery strange and awkward. Tools shoudn't be automatically
changing content nor properties of translations written by a human translator.

Unfortunately I have no idea what could be happening.

Please tell us which version of Django, GNU gettext tools and OS you are using.
and keep us posted about if/how you manage to reproduce this.

Have you been able to identify if it happens with literals extracted from
(only, any, all of) Python files?, JS files?, template files?

One hypothesis: Is it possible "Save Changes" also appears as the
singular literal of a singular/plural construct (ungettext() calls or
{% blocktrans %}...{% plural %}...{% endblocktrans %} tags)?
