No, you are probably using gettext-10.38 and the po files you are
running across are designed to work with 10.35. They should be updated
on a case-by-case basis (see below for the recipe).

ok, the fix is simple, but a bit tedious:
(1) Take a note of each line where the "illegal control sequence"
occurs.
(2) The open pu the zh_TW.Big5.po file and look for a '\\' sequence on
those lines (literally, two backslashes in a row). Remove one of the
backslashes.
(3) Commit. Have a cool drink. Your life will now be better.
Cheers,
Malcolm
