Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Invalid Entry in Po Files

Dear Yaron,

Well I have gettext and in fact I have tried the command you gave me on all
offending files. I have also opened 2 of the files in poedit, and found "no
error". The first file which comes as having invalid entry (during build)
is [1]. I opened that file and compared it to a Hungarian translation using
Meld Diff Viewer.  The difference I spotted appeared at the bottom of the
files with many more comments in my file than the Hungarian one. Can that
be a cause?
