[Koha-translate] Error when installing pt-PT translation

It means that your .po file's syntax is invalid. Then it breaks the
translation installation process. This can occur when .po files are
translated by hand (not on Pootle).  The person who edit .po files is in
charge and has to verify that his files's syntax is valid. You have to
track those kind of syntax errors and fix them all.

Which version exactly? If you're a translator, you must NOT work on .po
files coming with Koha but you must work on .po files available on:

   http://translate.koha-community.org

And of course, working remotely, you have to coordinate your effort with
other Portuguese translators.
