Hi Paul,

Have you had any chance to have a look at the enclosed snippet ?

I have run the same files in memoQ and it seems to work in memoQ.

Could be a problem with the Po file information? What do you think?

Realise this is very late but I think I just ran into the same issue. The issues seems to arise when you try to save your translated po file under the same name as the original po file. When I did that, I got either an empty po file OR when trying to open the po file with a po editor like Virtaal I get "file contains nothing to translate" or in Poedit I get some "line error".

It seems to go away when you save the file under a different name, so if you had translateme.po maybe just try saving it as translateme-done.po and see if that fixes the issue
