You don't use any po helper? Maybe you should. There are several dedicated applications : poedit, gtranslator, kbabel, etc Personally, I use a vim plugin : http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=695 All of these should allow you to find the untranslated and fuzzy messages, and to find eventual errors. Otherwise, using msgfmt manually can also help. to check if the file is fully translated : msgfmt --statistic <po file> to check the file doesn't contain any errors (like missing %s) : msgfmt -c <po file> The last one would for example have detected the error made in Spanish and Russian translation.
Personally, I use a vim plugin : http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=695 very interesting...I'm trying to make a PKBUILD for this plugin but maybe there is a bug with makepkg.

The pre-3.2.1 makepkg version I posted has one bugfix and one new feature which will help for this kind of url : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-August/008426.html

Usually, I work with poedit (too silly for vim, although I hope to improve on that). Must have been some kind of git-problem, though - when I checked-out yesterday, I didn't had any changes on the po-files. So what to translate? When I tried again this morning, it was there in all its glory. It may still be my fault, but it is not the first time for me that git only works only on second or third attempt (even locally). Anyway, it's done, so lets move on ...

Oh ok, I misunderstood what you said, you did not say you were using git. The git repo was not yet updated at that time, it was updated only later. All the .po files were available separately in the location given by Dan there : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-August/012858.html
