[zanata-users] problems with po files for subscription-manager/candlepin

[Adrian Likins]

(Not entirely sure this is the right place for this, but alas)

I'm been trying to clean up the translations for candlepin
and subscription-manager, and have been having problems
with the po files I get back from zanata.

Often "msgfmt -c" will fail on these files, and I can't
compile them into mo's.  For example, with the
po's from candlepin I get:

Most of these I can fix by hand (and have), but they keep coming back.
What should I do to prevent these errors in the future?
