The problem is due to a malformed entry in src/wp/ap/xp/ap_String_Id.h,
where for MSG_SpellSelectionDone there is an embedded comment. The Perl script
is misinterpreting the comment. I have fixed in my copy of HEAD by
replacing the line in src/wp/ap/xp/ap_String_Id.h to say:
dcl(MSG_SpellSelectionDone, "AbiWord finished checking the selection.")
// Do you want to continue checking the remainder of the document?"
The error then disappears.
By the way, please look at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4491
where I report other problems and propose a patch that partially fixes them.
In short, multiple messages with the same strings ("duplicate messages") are
getting dropped; my fix mostly retains duplicate messages, only asking the
translator to translate each such message once. However, messages duplicated
between the ap and xap strings are still dropped.
I will work on that problem, but meanwhile, it would be helpful if someone
would apply my patches to HEAD.
