You can use msgfmt for both error checking and compiling po files
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/msgfmt-Invocation.html).
Then you can put your .mo file ( with the same name as your
application ) into the directory where its is typically under
/usr/share/locale/LANG/. (LANG is your native language)
