crash with korean po file

Hi,

The korean po file in 1.5.x
(https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x/subversion/po/ko.po)
has invalid translations in it which causes Subversion (and of course
TSVN) to crash. From crash reports sent for TSVN I know that at least
the translation for

#: ../libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:248
#, fuzzy, c-format
#| msgid "Error parsing %s property on '%s': '%s'"
msgid "Error setting property '%s': "
msgstr "'%s'에 대한 %s 속성을 분석하던 중 오류 발생: '%s'"

is completely wrong: it has three '%s' in it while the original text
only has one. This causes the printf statement to crash.

The translation is fixed on trunk, but the commit which fixed this also
changed a lot of other translated strings (r32303). So I think simply
backporting that commit won't work (I honestly don't know since I don't
understand the language).

What would be the best way to deal with this? Simply change that
specific translation to

#: ../libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:248
#, c-format
msgid "Error setting property '%s': "
msgstr ""

So it is marked as 'not translated'?

This invalid tranlated string causes about 70% of all crash reports I
get for the latest TSVN version, so I think this should get fixed before
the next release.

Stefan
