Comment (by siarzhuk):

 Replying to [comment:4 rq]:
 > Pootle wasn't even mentioned as the reason for this bug. I still believe
 the checksum could be safely dropped without notable negative effects.


 Regardless of mentioning HTA, Pootle or other translator applications -
 checksum protection of catkeys is not only helpful, but necessary to
 prevent from using bad-formatted files and let to catch the problem on
 catalog compilation stage.
