I've added a lot of strings to be translated and was missing a call to make
the menu system do translations, so you should redownload the tarball.

Make sure your latest fr_FR.po is in the po directory, then in the po
directory, merge with the current pcb.pot with:

    $ msgmerge fr_FR.po  pcb.pot > fr_FR.po.new
    $ mv fr_FR.po.new  fr_FR.po

And then you can proceed as before.  There's a lot of new translations to
do and you might want to pick first the ones you see in the GUI.  Many
of them are for library log error or warning messages.

We'll need to add some utf8 validate calls, but I'm not sure offhand everywhere
that this needs to be done.  To give me an idea of where to start looking
can you run it under gdb and get a stack trace to send me?  Just run

    $ gdb ./pcb-bin

Then at the gdb prompt:

    (gdb) run --g-fatal-warnings  pcb-filename.pcb

Where it gets the Gtk-CRITICAL, gdb will abort the run and you can get a stack trace with:

    (gdb)  bt full
...
    (gdb) quit

Getting all the i18n stuff right may take a few tries, but it's good you are
working on it so early.  It will be nice to have this done.
