I looked a little at getting a newer gettext onto Container, but rebuilding the RHEL4 gettext package for RHEL3 proved to be more work than I wanted to do; and I wasn't that happy with putting custom packages onto container anyways. So, what I did was committed the attached hack to check-po-commit.sh; it simply skips the -c argument to msgfmt for files called 'fa.po'. (Only the Persian team, is to my knowledge, using localized numeric formatters at the current time.)
