Problems when compiling the .po file
Hi folks

Note for translators of NVDA community addons:
Since for some time, the new .po files containing the translation of the web site for new Add-ons they give an error message despite the good information in editable fields from the preferences of poedit.

the only solution is to manually edit the incriminated .po file, follow these steps:

1.- Open the .po file with the Notepad of Windows or similar (Notepad++).
2.- In the .po file find the following lines:
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@xxxxxx>\n"
"Language: \n"

and changes (for example in my case):
"Project-Id-Version: audioThemes add-on\n"
"Last-Translator: Rémy Ruiz <remyruiz@xxxxxxxxx>\n"
"Language-Team: NVDA add-ons French translation team <rémyruiz@xxxxxxxxx>\n"
"Language: fr\n"

Project name (can be the name of the addon).
Your name, your e-mail, name of the translation team,put your email again and your language for example: (fr) (es) (it) etc.
3.- Once complete save your .po file.
4.- Now you can open your file .po normally with poedit.
5.- save your .po file again.
6.- If everything is fine you will not have anymore the poedit error message!
Enjoy and very good translation!
Cheers since France.
