I could reproduce this, I took a random po file, which initially had:
# Translation of libbonobo to Croatiann
# Copyright (C) Croatiann team
# Translators: Automatski Prijevod <>,Robert Sedak <robert.sedak@sk.tel.hr>,
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: libbonobo 0\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2004-09-13 15:34+0100\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2004-03-13 13:11+CET\n"
"Last-Translator: auto\n"
"Language-Team: Croatian <lokalizacija@linux.hr>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"X-Generator: TransDict server\n"

I removed the charset=UTF-8 in the CT, ie:
"Content-Type: text/plain\n"

Then I launched a debugging symbols version of gtranslator from gdb, it will
crash immediately if you pass the file to the command line or if you open a file
with the file open dialog.

Before the crash, I get hundreds of warnings like:
(gtranslator:1953): gtranslator-WARNING **: /home/lool/hr.po:83: could not
convert line from 'text/plain' to UTF-8: [NULL ERRV]

GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before
it's set.

(gdb) 

I stripped the po file to have a single translation with 8-bit chars, and got:

I believe the stacktrace is irrelevant, the warnings should be fixed first.
