Comment (by siliconforks):

 Replying to [comment:6 kkmuffme]:
 > One (and the biggest pain point for me) is that .mo files aren't valid
 and can't be converted back to .po files with basic msgunfmt tool (since
 all UTF-8 will get stripped).

 Note that you can use `msgunfmt --escape` to output the bytes as C escape
 characters.
