Details:

During my poor attempt to change the three buggy translations in the nl.po
file I figured out the the pspp.pot file on the translations page is different
from the version that I build on MacOS. The version on the translations page
is taken from the 1.4.0 release tgz file.

The released pspp.pot file has some problems. Problems I found:

*multiline text*

The following code 


src/data/sys-file-reader.c: 2297
      sys_warn (r, offset,
                _("Weight variable index %d not in valid range 1...%zu.  "
                  "Treating file as unweighted."),
                idx, n_var_recs);


Produces on the MacOS build with gettext version 0.20.2 a pspp.pot file with:


#: src/data/sys-file-reader.c:2297
#, c-format
msgid ""
"Weight variable index %d not in valid range 1...%zu.  Treating file as "
"unweighted."
msgstr ""


The 1.4.0 released pot file contains


#: src/data/sys-file-reader.c:2289
#, c-format
msgid "Weight variable index %d not in valid range 1...%zu."
msgstr ""


=> The second line is missing.

*metainfo.xml*

The complete src/ui/gui/org.fsf.pspp.metainfo.xml.in msgids are missing.

*Strange msgid which is not in the code*

I could not find this in the source:

#: src/ui/gui/helper.c:210
msgid "Sorry. The help system hasn't yet been implemented."
msgstr ""


* Version*
Release: "Project-Id-Version: pspp 1.3.0\n"
MacOS build: "Project-Id-Version: pspp 1.4.0\n"

Is the released pot file an old pot file?


The diff for the msgids:
