Help with error during msgfmt checking po file

[Christian Stimming]

The flag "c-format" is wrong, as the string is not used in a sprintf format 
string (to my knowledge). If you remove the "c-format", the file is accepted 
by msgfmt.

I think the difference between de.po and ru.po is that de.po accidentally has 
a valid sprintf format character as the next one after the % and the 
whitespace. Whereas ru.po has some cyrillic utf-8 character, which for sure is 
not a valid printf format character. This is partly msgfmt's fault and partly 
our translation string extraction's fault where the "c-format" flag is 
erroneously inserted.

Regards,

Christian
