Looks like zh_TW.po is also buggy. The error follow, both from msgfmt and
iconv:

$ msgfmt zh_TW.po -o zh_TW.gmo
zh_TW.po:563: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:564: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:568: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:569: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:745: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:750: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:765: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:770: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:800: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:1632: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:2043: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:2634: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:2953: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:3033: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:3081: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:3222: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:3515: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:4550: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:4549: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'
zh_TW.po:4750: invalid control sequence
too many errors, aborting

$ iconv --from-code=big5 --to-code=iso-8859-1 zh_TW.po -o output
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 654

I know I'm not in a very ood position to give any sugestions, but wouldn't it
be better just to remove these two po files til they are fixed ?
