msgfmt -cvo sk.gmo sk.po

Then replace (as root) the sk.gmo in your gaim with the resulting sk.gmo file.

This should work, but I find that sometimes it doesn't. (I don't know why.) If it doesn't work for any reason you'll have to recompile gaim.

(The "cv" is not necessary, but if there are errors in the file the "c" will tell you, and if there are no errors the "v" will show you some information, so I always use "-cvo" instead of just "-o".)
