Great! Thanks, I committed it.

Right.

Also true. Will contact the translator.
I wonder that Bulgarian seems not to have three plural forms such
as Russian, ...

Not the German one :-) But you're right. I didn't noticed it yet.
Affected is e.g. the Russian page.

No, I don't think so as we process each language separately and not
together. Maybe it helps to specify the encoding?

BTW I think the source is OK but "man" renders is wrong. Maybe a problem
with the detection of the locale? Will investigate it ...

Not yet.

I also do not like the following warnings: 

bg.po:53: (po4a::po)
          Strange line: -->msgid_plural "Complete %d  more levels  to
          unlock!"<--

(Same for other translations.) Happens with po4a 0.29-1.

Right. I noticed this too. But that are not too many strings, right?
Even if the game editor is currently not used it may be provided later
as extension (never tried it).

I agree and will check it again.
