[libreoffice-l10n] Invalid Entry in Po Files

[Tadele Assefa]

Dear Yaron,

I am still struggling with the 'invalid entry' message during LO build. The
followings are things I have done since you advised me last time:

1) corrected all 'critical errors' suggested
2) Tried to build and failed
3) Uploaded all files to Pootle, corrected all errors suggested by pootle
downloaded the translations and tried to build, not OK
4) Pulled the latest source code from git, switched to master and tried to
build, not OK

I did this on both Win and Ubuntu with same result. When I open the files
in Virtaal I cannot see any problem. What shall I do?

Regards,
