It's a problem with the el.po file. It advertises that it uses
iso-8859-7 encoding, but it has invalid bytes:
$ iconv -f iso-8859-7 -t utf-8 < el.po > /dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 29530
That po file would produce garbage output on the users' screen (both
in ISO-8859-7 and UTF-8 locales).
