msgmerge problem

["Fernando Apesteguía" <fernando apesteguia gmail com>]

This is the output of the Makefile:

$ make
file=./`echo hr | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt --statistics -o $file hr.po
hr.po:29:16: sucesión de multibyte inválida
hr.po:53:14: sucesión de multibyte inválida
hr.po:89:16: sucesión de multibyte inválida

hr.po:313:30: sucesión de multibyte inválida
/usr/bin/msgfmt: demasiados errores, programa interrumpido
make: *** [hr.gmo] Error 1

and this are some of the lines that throw errors (I don't copy the entire file because it is 390 lines long):

#: src/interface.c:340
msgid "Vendor"
msgstr "Prodavaè"

#: src/interface.c:382
msgid "Cache"
msgstr "Priruèna memorija"

#: src/interface.c:693
msgid "Cached"
msgstr "U priruènoj memoriji"

And the file's header is as follows:

# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL ADDRESS>, YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2006-05-09 23:08+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL li org>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

Until now, we only had english and spanish translations and this is our
first attempt to add more languages (croatian,russian, etc...), so we
are a bit lost.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance (and sorry for this long post)

Show files used with msgmerge command or check lines numbers that are
displayed in msgmerge warnings.
