I'm not really sure what you're talking about, and I'm probably
misunderstanding something, as
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/gnome-2.2/PO/ggv.gnome-2-2.ar.po
looks completely normal to me.

Are you talking about the #~ messages? Then that's the way of
automatically marking obsoleted messages and it's completely normal.

Btw, ggv HEAD has no ar translation at all; please remember to always
commit to HEAD first and then on the branches when committing a new
translation, as described on
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/translator.html.
