[i18n] translation.php and fatal error handling

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Leena Heino <Leena.Heino at uta.fi>:

> Translation.php has a very annoying feature. If there is a fatal error
> within the po or the pot files then the existing po file is destroyed
> along with all your translated strings.
>
> Though the damage might not be so great if you use compendium, but without
> compendium translation.pgp will create an empty po file.
>
> Would it be possible that the translation.php makes a backup of the
> existing po file and if there are any fatal errors it reports the errors
> but also restores the backupped file.

File an enhancement request on bugs.horde.org. Better yet, submit a patch.
