I am investigating this, and this seems to be at least linked to the 
fact that the Czech translation is buggy, with several errors in XML 
tags (not closed, opened twice instead of closed…).

I am still checking this, but it does not sound abnormal for itstool to 
fail on invalid XML, in which case I would reassign this bug to Gnumeric 
and provide you with a patch to fix it.
