cd pkg-gate/src
dmake install

Following the instructions to be found in the wiki, step 3, I noticed
errors which cause the 'dmake install' build to abort.

1) In gui/help/id/id.po, misplaced char in line 726, `\' instead of `
', removed -> fixed.

2) after that,
    msgfmt -o cs.mo cs.po
    cs.po:4118: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not bot end with `\n'.
    msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
I understand, that apparently, somewhere a line end is missing?

Running dmake install anew, however, compiled the offending cs.po only
to return to the same error with German, Italian, Brazilian Portugese,
and some Chinese. From that, I gather that there was not really buggy
code. I think one can safely ignore that behaviour. It is not elegant,
though, to start 'dmake install' six times to get a compilation. Could
somebody point me where to look for the offending code?

1) however, constitutes an error. After ten years in Linux, I never
did this sort of thing. What is the correct way to submit a fix?

Thanks in advance for your help, cheers, Chris

P.S.: I looked at the German locale translations in
pkg-gate/src/gui/help/de. While not exactly wrong, one could work at
the language. I would like to contribute a better wording. Can I get
that issue assigned to me somehow?
