How can typo be same in all languages? Or do you mean that a "po" file
contains original string with typo, if so, that is autogenerated and
when such typo is fixed in the source code message, translators need
to unfuzzy their strings which isn't big task.
However if the translators do the unfuzzying, then there won't be any
CVS conflicts et cetera.

Someone should patch msgfmt to have an ability to check d-installer's
kind of messages, aren't those standard Perl? There is already the
c-format flag for messages in the po format. This would help with half
of the problems.
Translators validate their translations with 'V' in the Emacs' po mode
or similar with other tools, do they?
