This is the error given at the end of the log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 743, in ?
    CurrentXmlMode.postProcessXmlTranslation(doc, translationlanguage, outtxt)
  File "/usr/share/xml2po/docbook.py", line 190, in postProcessXmlTranslation
    copy.newChild(None, "holder", holder)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 3187, in newChild
    ret = libxml2mod.xmlNewChild(self._o, ns__o, name, content)
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)


This looks like an error in xml2po.  The default unicode -> str
conversion in Python is to convert to ASCII (this can be changed, but
should not be relied on).

Since the libxml2 bindings are set to accept strings rather than unicode
strings the conversion occurs implicitly.  The fix would be for xml2po
to explicitly encode unicode strings to UTF-8 before passing them to
libxml2.

Fixing this bug in xml2po and installing a new version on
window.gnome.org would fix the problem.
