Comment(by sascha_silbe):

 I can reproduce some error with Record, though I'm not sure it's the same
 one since you didn't provide the actual error message. This is what I see:

                        and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.

 ERROR - xgettext failed with return code 1.
 (sugar-jhbuild1)sascha.silbe at twin:~/sugar-jhbuild/source/record$
 }}}

 Line 547 of network.py contains:

 {{{
         pattern =
 "([\xf6-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{0,2}|[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{0,1}|[\xc0-\xdf])$"
 }}}

 Note that this is a byte string constant (not a unicode one) and there's
 no use of any translation related function on this line (and it doesn't
 get translated anywhere else in the code either). The non-ASCII bytes are
 fragments of UTF-8 sequences, so the byte string cannot be decoded to any
 sequence of characters, no matter what encoding.

 Looks like an xgettext bug to me. Please report it
 [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#general_mailinglist
 upstream].
