It sounds like you've managed to do the merge? The statistics you posted
sound plausible.

I've occasionally wondered if we could give translators the option of
using web front-end like Pootle.
Unfortunately, it seems that no-one runs a "public" Pootle server that
will host stuff for any project that approaches it; neither Sourceforge
nor Gna (which we use for project hosting) appear to offer anything of
the kind. So someone associated with Freeciv would have to set it up on
a personal server.

This error is from the gd.po currently in svn. It looks like that has
invalid plural specifier syntax, which is presumably something to do
with your Virtaal woes. Your "newgd.po" from the rar file you linked to
recently doesn't give this error, so I guess you can ignore this one.

Hubert's explained the other errors (which I do still get with your
newgd.po), and I don't think can add anything there.

However, there's another minor issue that msgmerge spotted with your
newgd.po:
| newgd.po:6965: internationalised messages should not contain the `\v'
| escape sequence
| newgd.po:6965: internationalised messages should not contain the `\v'
| escape sequence

I don't know how the '\v's (which usually means "vertical tab", an
obscure ASCII control code) got into the translation, but they probably
shouldn't be there.

(In case you have trouble with line numbers, this is in the string
starting "This should be a string of characters, each of which specifies
the inclusion of a line of information in the Demographics report.\n")
