If I don't pass any value in msgstr of numerical msg id in PO file what will come out?

Question

I am making an Arabic PO translation file of my odoo module in which there is a msgid:

msgid "10"
msgstr ""

Here I am not writing anything in msgstr, what will come out?

Will it show number "10" in string at runtime, or will it show blank as nothing is passed in msgstr?

no , I can debug , but it is 15000 lines of codes and I have just started converting so , I will debug at once after translating a whole file — sakib keriwala, Sep 23 '15 at 07:00

Gettext format uses empty msgstr strings for messages that are not yet translated. So in your example "10" will be interpreted as not translated and the original string ("10") will be used. This will not result in an empty string.
