Error "msgfmt not found" uploading or testing po file translation

Started by socramdm

Hi all,

When I try to upload a po file to test, using "Test Client Translation" option, it returns the following error:

Your .po file has errors. Remove it, fix it and upload again.
sh: 1: msgfmt: not found

But the translation file is working locally with no errors.

P.S.: The same error appears when I try to upload a new translation on this link (or try to create a new page without file, but with external link to download it):

https://fold.it/portal/index.php?q=client_translation_list

How to solve it?

Thanks

See Portuguese translation on the Foldit wiki for instructions on how to install the translation manually.

socramdm used the language code "pt_BR", or Brazilian Portuguese, and Foldit is smart enough to display a Brazilian flag.

I was able to load socramdm's translation into Foldit.

See this feedback reply for instructions.

You'll find the translation file in a earlier reply to the same feedback.

I'll put the instructions on a wiki page next.
