Dear Paul,
thanks a lot for applying the i18n patches to the gitk master at git.kernel.org. This looks all fine, except for one mistake that slipped in: The character encoding of the newly added po/de.po translation was messed up. The file must be in UTF-8 encoding (and I submitted it this way), but the one that ended up in the repository is in ISO-8859 encoding.
Could you please do
recode latin1..utf8 po/de.po
and commit the result? Otherwise a simple "make" will fail, because when msgfmt tries to "compile" the de.po it rightfully complains about the file not being in valid utf8, although the po file header claims "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8".
Thank you very much.
Christian
