The typical process is, for such problematic messages, to change it from: #: ../libnautilus-actions/nautilus-actions-config-schema-reader.c:744 #, c-format msgid "" "This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing key: %s)%s" msgid_plural "" to #: ../libnautilus-actions/nautilus-actions-config-schema-reader.c:744 #, fuzzy, c-format msgid "" "This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing key: %s)%s" msgid_plural "" which means, you add 'fuzzy' to the message type, and then the tools will consider this message requires attention from the translator, and will not flag as invalid anymore. This issue happens quite often, so I'll look into where to add in the documentation.
