Yes. You should use English 1.155 if your translation is against that
revision. Also, you should read a section named "HOWTO convert a
pre-existing translation to po4a?" in the po4a(7)[1].

Thank you for citing my switch log, Jens. :-)
My procedure was:
(1) Tried po4a-gettextize until the conversion successed. Please read
po4a-gettextize(1)[2] to know what the command line options above
mean, and po4a(7)[1] to know what to do.
(2) Corrected encoding.
(3) Checked roughly whether the conversion really have successed.
(3) Since all the translations were marked as fuzzy after the
conversion, defuzzified all the entries automatically.
(4) Checked more and tweaked whitespace.
(5) Enjoyed po4a life. :-)
