Looks like the problem is coming from diacritics (harakat). I don't see
stand-alone harakat in your first attachment. Also, the only thing that
is common between the country names mentioned and the po file you have
attached, it seems, is that they include the 'shadda' diacritic.

Others, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
