If you're translating to a language where there is no distinction between the two then you simply set the same value for both entries. If using Poedit all this will be easily handled by the user interface where you'll have separate tabs for the singular and plural entries.
As a general remark the correct letter case is very important for the translated text. Although there are a few instances where text is for example automatically converted to uppercase, in most instances no such conversions are made. This means that in most cases the translated text will appear exactly as entered in the .po file. This approach provides maximum flexibility and of course a number of languages don't even have the concept of letter case so automatic case conversions wouldn't make sense.

In general _completed_ is translated as _slutförd_ but for example when having played through an entire game (as indicated in the metadata editor for the game) the word _genomspelat_ makes more sense as this literally translates to "played through". Although you could use _slutförd_ for a completed game this sounds pretty strange in Swedish.

However the English translations for this would be identical as there is no real distinction there:

**Application language**
Sets the language for the application user interface. If this option is set to _automatic_ then the language will be auto-detected, which means ES-DE will attempt to use whatever language has been selected in the operating system language settings. If there are no translations available in ES-DE for this language then a fallback will be done to the closest match, such as _Svenska_ instead of _Svenska (Finland)_. If no close match is available then ES-DE will revert to the default language which is _English (United States)_. It's also possible to explicitly select a supported language, which will override whatever has been set by the operating system. Note that the onboarding configurator for the Android release is unaffected by this setting. Also note that language auto-detection does not work on the Steam Deck when running in game mode, so there it will be necessary to select a language explicitly.
