[cups.general] ppdc and cupsIPPReason

I am using ppd compiler to generate PPD file.

I have included the following directives in drv file to get the localization support:
#po en "../English/Localizable.strings"
#po fr "../French/Localizable.strings"

In strings files, I have the following key value pair:
"3101" = "text:EnglishWarning" ;   ------ In English strings File
"3101" = "text:FrenchWarning" ;   ------ In French strings File

With 'Attribute cupsIPPReason com.mycompany.3101-warning: "3101"' in my drv file, I get the following commands in PPD file:

*cupsIPPReason com.mycompany.3101-warning:: "3101"
*fr.cupsIPPReason com.mycompany.3101-warning:/cupsIPPReason: "text:FrenchWarning"

My problem is:
In generated PPD file, for English, "3101" is used as value/message but for French, it is treated as key, and the corresponding value for "3101" key is picked up from french Localizable.strings.

So why the same behavior is not seen for English. Why ppdc does not pick up the corresponding value for key "3101" from English Localizable.strings. But rather it treats "3101" itself as the message.

Is there any way to make English also work in the same way as French?

Regards,
Sharad Joshi.
