Investigate what can be done for gettext .po files

[enen92]

I think we might need some sort of validation for the language files submitted with the addons. Reason is PR https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scripts/pull/918 in which the headers for GNU gettext are missing. This leads to an error in Kodi's po parser:

Is anyone familiar with a module that can help us achieving .po validation?

@enen92 We can use polib btw what header are we talking about?

[enen92]

yes I saw it. However I think we do something to validate the header in Kodi (according to the PR linked above). I didn't have time yet to check it.

Is this the header we are talking about?

[enen92]

Yes, look for the warning message in the Kodi codebase

This issue has already been fixed I guess its best to to close this now.
