Re: fwknop 1.9.7-3: Please translate debconf PO for the package fwknop

But deeply broken, I'm afraid....

See my comments to the Italian translators. All of them apply to your
file, when it comes at the file's header....

Moreover:


> #. Type: boolean
> #. Description
> #: ../fwknop-server.templates:1001
> msgid "?????????????????????? fwknop ???? ???????????? ?????????? SSH?"
> msgstr ""


(you'll note that the lack of charset mention lead to all Ukrainian
characters being b0rked in my answer)

You should not put the Ukrainian counterpart in place of the English
strings. You must put it in the "msgstr" part, leaving the English
part alone.

TO all folks who start doing gettext translations, pretty please use
editors that are dedicated to this task. They will prevent common
mistakes and all formatting errors.

I recommend either KBabel or gtranslator.

Using vi|vim without the dedicated PO mode is strongly
discouraged. I can't say anything about the PO mode of vim that seems
used by some translators. 

And, again and again, all such errors are easily spotted by using
msgfmt as I pointed in the answer to "vince".
