Learning: The default estimated_label change from "%s (estimated)" to "%s" in holidays/groups/eastern.py is intentional to remove English-only fallback text from localized holiday names. Countries that need estimated labels should define them properly with localization support rather than relying on the English fallback.

Learning: In the holidays library, when a language is set as the default language for a country (like Dutch/nl for Suriname), the `msgid` strings in the PO file are already in that language, and the corresponding `msgstr` fields are intentionally left empty. This is by design, as the system will fall back to using the `msgid` value when no translation is provided.

Learning: In the holidays library, Dutch locale files (.po) with `X-Source-Language: nl` should have empty msgstr entries when the target language is also Dutch. The library uses fallback=True with gettext, which returns the original msgid when msgstr is empty. This is the correct pattern for native language files and does not cause blank holiday names.

Learning: For holiday tests in the vacanza/holidays project, structure tests by individual holidays rather than by years. Each test method should focus on a specific holiday and test it across multiple years (from start_year through 2050) using helper methods like `assertHolidayName`. For fixed holidays, use generators like `(f"{year}-01-01" for year in range(1991, 2051))`. For movable holidays, specify individual dates for specific years followed by a range check.
