I suppose I am the only one who used UTF-8 to encode the messages :-)
The file I sent was encoding using utf-8. I really cannot understand why to
use strange alternative ways in order to specify messages. My opinion is that
the message catalog should encode all its messages in utf-8 and use this encoding
when sourcing the files. Any way, I am willing to translate them into whatever
you want :-). 
Also, Laurent told me that he also had problems opening the files.
I attach the file again, this time is zipped with gzip.

This is logical, although I suspect that tcl can understand them :-)
And for those who don't know how to create these \u sequences, is
there a simple procedure in tcl in order to translate them?

Sorry for the incovinience,
