Just to provide background: that problem is that itstool
does not load DTDs, which means it doesn't get the entity
definitions from DocBook, so those become parse errors.
I've opened a bug to add an option for this:

I can't really tell. Can you run python in the directory
with the mo file and run these commands:

fd = open('mypofile.mo', 'rb')
import gettext
tr = gettext.GNUTranslations(fd)

One of those ought to raise an exception to get the error
you're getting. Let me know what happens.

By the way, it's a good idea to use the locale as the base
name of the mo file, i.e. ar.mo. itstool sets the language
information in the XML file. You can always set the language
explicitly with the -l option, but by default itstool gets
the language name from the file name.
