First up, the file you're referring to is one that Joop uploaded, and  
appears to have failed because of errors in the file. I'm pretty sure  
these errors were introduced inadvertently by Joop because of a  
confusion regarding LF and CR characters (Windows/Unix line  
terminators).

Compare this from Joop's file:

#: sw/source/ui/app/app.src#STR_PRINT_MERGE_MACRO.string.text
msgid "Print form letters"
msgstr ""
"Presi formularajn leterojn
\n"
"Presi modelajn leterojn
\n"
"#-#-#-#-#  app.po (PACKAGE VERSION)  #-#-#-#-#
\n"
"Presi formularajn leterojn"

...with this from the same file downloaded from Rosetta:

#: sw/source/ui/app/app.src#STR_PRINT_MERGE_MACRO.string.text
msgid "Print form letters"
msgstr ""
"Presi formularajn leterojn^M\n"
"Presi modelajn leterojn^M\n"
"#-#-#-#-#  app.po (PACKAGE VERSION)  #-#-#-#-#^M\n"
"Presi formularajn leterojn"

I confirm that the file referenced above was NOT uploaded by me, but  
by Joop as correctly indicated in Rosetta's records.

To quote a message I (unintentionally) privately sent to Carlos this  
morning:

And just to confirm, 7 hours later, I have not received an "Import  
successful" message, and the modifications made in my uploaded file  
are not yet visible on Launchpad.net.

Thanks for the help, Carlos.

Cheers.
