si.po for gparted will never be used, because si is not listed in the
LINGUAS file.

http://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner#maintainers explains it
perfectly.
the file MAINTAINERS in trunk does not exist, blame the maintainer for
it.
the file must exist because GNOME now requires it.
unfortunately it seems like gparted is dead anyway:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470387#c7

but now that you're here: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE regurlarly take a look
at
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/si/gnome-2-22 . there is half a dozen of
si.po files that have not been added to the LINGUAS file and therefore
will never be used (gconf, libbonoboui, libgnome, evince,
evolution-data-server, tomboy, gparted). there are 4 files that do not
pass the "msgfmt -cv" check (eog, evolution, gnome-terminal, vinagre).
always run "msgfmt -cv" before committing!
