Hi
it looks like Ninad's tree has broken locales, the problem is in not cleaned up merge[0].
The root cause is that po files are quite often changing content and doing changes in both gsoc branch and master will lead to conflicts. So please follow instructions on wiki [1] and do not update po files in your private branches, this will be done once the code is merged (anyway the translations won't be sent out to translators or to translation server, so nobody will do the translation work anyway).
