You should only touch the .po, right?

I fixed it (with some reverts to make stuff work) here:
http://bitbucket.org/bboissin/ckan-i18n-fr/

Rufus, please pull.

No it's actually due to my "experiments" with genshi to always get long
strings to translate (and not cut by tags). I reverted those.

I'll work on a separate clone to prepare this for the new release of
genshi.

Daniel, this will impact you when this happens. But in the end this is
better for everybody:

- for example: "See <a>here<a>.", won't be broken into two strings ("See"
  and "here"), it will show as "See [1:here]" which is a lot nicer to
  translate (especially if you have to move part of the sentence
  around).
- we'll get proper pluralization (one package vs. 2 packages)

Cheers,

Benoit
