There is also licensing problems in some PO-files.
POT-files should replace PACKAGE with actual package name.
PO-files should include both proper copyright and licensing info.
As an example, the following has bogus copyright (and the actual
translators do not claim copyright), and refer to bogus licensing info
(the package "PACKAGE" does not exist):
# Greek translation of Chat Activity.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
