Text is not in utf-8. According to email headers it is in iso-8859-1.
Please don't paste 8bit translation texts in message body. Attach them. If
you paste text inline, only your mailer and your deity knows what is in
original.


you have broken file header.

don't leave it as is. Fill comments and msgstr lines. Remove fuzzy mark.
If you don't do that, your translation does not pass msgfmt -c tests.


if you want to test your translation, test it with 'msgfmt -v -c -o
/dev/null hr.po' command. You can also add '--check-accelerators=_' for
Gnome translations.
