Problems with this email and/or patch. Here is what the raw message
looks like to me:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Even if I do copy/paste the patch into a file, I have all sorts of
weird encoding issues. The translation is currently ISO-8859-2, so a
patch in UTF-8 is no good. Can you just attach your local file, being
sure that the file encoding is consistent with what is listed in the
PO file (either convert the translation to UTF-8 and update it in the
PO file, or do your edits in ISO-8859-2)?
In addition, it might be much easier to use a tool such as gtranslate
or kbabel to do the translation.
