Hi, I work on Launchpad's Translations application so let me add this 
note: starting with next week's rollout, you should get more helpful 
error messages.  Generally you can find the source of the problem using 
"msgfmt -v -c <file>.po" but there are sometimes differences of opinion.

To get your translation out of Launchpad, browse to it (so you see the 
individual messages as translated in your language) and select the 
"Download translations" option.
