Description Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2016-04-30 09:50:01 UTC 
The ar translation for Polari is breaking the build in Continuous:

ar.po:734: number of format specifications in 'msgid_plural' and 'msgstr[0]' does 
not match
ar.po:745: number of format specifications in 'msgid_plural' and 'msgstr[0]' does not match
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 26 fatal errors
ar.po: 118 translated messages, 20 untranslated messages.
Makefile:191: recipe for target '../../po/ar.gmo' failed
make[2]: *** [../../po/ar.gmo] Error 1
Comment 1 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2016-04-30 10:06:47 UTC 
I had to disable the 'ar' translation from the po/LINGUAS file in order to the Polari to build under jhbuild and Continuous.

I'm pretty sure you need at least gettext 0.19.6 to reproduce the error.

    po: fix and reenable Arabic translation
    
    Apparently omitting format specifications in translations is no longer
    permitted by gettext.
