msgfmt: found 76 fatal errors

Hint: if the translation has thec-format flag, the placeholders (like %s, %d, %u, see man 3 printf) need to be the exact same ones (no %U when it was %u), and if the order has to be changed, you need to specify this explicitly using the %m$ syntax -- again, see the manual for printf().

Don't hesitate to run msgfmt --check ta.po on your end as well to verify everything is OK on that regard.

We'll also have to add ta to po/LINGUAS, but that we can also do ourselves, though it's easy:

diff --git a/po/LINGUAS b/po/LINGUAS
index e2931f8fa..1979150e6 100644

[TamilNeram]

I am able to generate the Messages.mo file with the command
% LANGUAGE=C msgfmt --check po/ta.po

I don't see the error that you are seeing. Hopefully that error is gone after the last commit (f9f5e64).

Hope this helps.

@TamilNeram yes, passes the check for me as well 👍

Note however that some mnemonics (menu/button accelerators accessible via Alt+letter after the underscore) are missing in your translation. That's OK, it's not a blocker, but you might want to see whether that's something that could be improved:
