Research direction

Inspect the GitHub Actions workflow that checks whether .po files match compiled .mo files, then review the failure described in #6469 and the platform-dependent msgfmt expansion. Done means the workflow no longer blocks new .po translations for this issue while the check's behavior is understood.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ci translation

In #6469 we observed a CI failure owing to a "new" version of msgfmt that "expands" macro-templated messages like %"PRId64" that change by platform.

I still don't fully understand why the GHA fails, but for now I want to unblock the new .po translations being submitted by deactivating the GHA.
