I went through the at-pi.po and this is a very famous problem and a very nifty one too. Gtranslator seems to be boerked, it messed with many of my files and changed their encoding from utf-8 to some iso coding which makes the file unusable. Fixing this error is a little bit nifty and takes time. On one side, you under estimate many things. I can't make a utf checkout every time I upload a file. Think about uploading a file >10 times to the arabeyes server and 3 or 4 times to the gnome server and doing every time a check out, writing logs etc... for daily use this is not pratical. And the truth is very few do it. Still I have to point out I didn't knew about it till I got this problem with a po uploaded to the gnome server. And the fault is not mine it's gtranslators which is simply a bad written app!

These erorrs come mainly from two projects: 1. OpenOffice (http://www.al-daleel.org/OOo.err.txt) 2. Gnome (http://www.al-daleel.org/gnome.err.txt) I didn't report .pot files, because they are not included in the generation of the common terms file, are they?
No they are not. And why are files making it into our CVS without first being run through 'msgfmt' to make sure they are 100% syntactically correct - isn't that part of the check-in procedure ?
I highly recommend that ALL projects do an entire *.po check to make sure nothing abnormal is happening. The common_terms file notes _alot_ of errors in various projects.
