Bug#493744: grub2: Invalid PO file as Spanish translation

Package: grub2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch l10n

The Spanish debconf translation (debian/po/es.po) recently added for grub2
unfortunately has a double escaping of double quotes on one line, which
turns it into an invalid file.

A patch to fix this is attached to this bug report.

Maria (CC'ed), it would be interesting to investigate how you came with that
file so that such minor error doesn't happen again in another translation.
What tool did you use for doing that translation?

In any case, I suggest you check translation files before sending them,
which can be done with the following:

msgfmt -o /dev/null -c --statistics es.po

Anyway, thanks a lot for your translation work...
