It's the "translator-credits" message.
Currently the value for pa.po is:

msgid "translator-credits"
msgstr "ààààààà àààà àààà àààààààà <aalam redhat com <mailto:aalam redhat com>> 2004,2005"


Here, docbook.py does special processing, parsing the name, e-mail and 
year. It breaks however, if there is some non-ascii characters.
I did not have the time to investigate this, I believe it's a bug in 
docbook.py, that when parsing, it does not consider that there can be 
UTF-8 characters in the name here.
The same problem happened for Greek and it was resolved by writing the 
names in US-ASCII (ie, English).

The quick fix is to change the name from "ààààààà àààà àààà àààààààà" to 
"Amanpreet Singh Alam".
Below are the header comments of pa.po:

# Amanpreet Singh Brar <amanpreetalam yahoo com <mailto:amanpreetalam yahoo com>>, 2005.
# Amanpreet Singh Alam <amanpreetalam yahoo com <mailto:amanpreetalam yahoo com>>, 2005.


Amanpreet, would that be ok?
