Please correct these to have two distinct strings in singluar and plural, e.g.

if( S->nsigs == 1 ){
  G_message(_("Calculating class covariance matrix ..."));
}else{
  G_message(_("Calculating class covariance matrices ..."));
}

Because: 

1) Not every language has an easy suffix replacement plural/singular handling.
E.g. in spanish you also need to change an article that doesn't exist in english.

2) "x" and "ces" are not being translated.

3) It's not at all obvious in the .po file what "... matri%s" corresponds to.

There are three or four occurences of this trick.

Daniel.
