Usually this error is caused, if the encoding of the po/mo file is
wrong. Make sure, that your po file header has the two following settings:

       "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
       "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

The command `file your_german.po` should return something like

    your_german.po: UTF-8 Unicode English text

You should use a fully UTF-8 capable editor (I prefer emacs for editing
po files as its po-mode is really good) for editing, too.

If those prerequisites are clearly met and do not solve your issue, feel
free to send me your .po and I'll recheck it on my system.
