Upon further examination it seems that adminsubscribeack.txt is the
only utf-8 encoded template. I re-encoded it as iso-8859-1 so now
everything appears to be iso-8859-1.

It turns out only (, ), < and > were html escaped and only in href=
strings. This is understandable, but in this case  these characters
are part of the syntax of substitutions so they should not be escaped
and the substituted strings will be OK. I fixed these and I also used
a script of mine to convert the non-ascii characters in html templates
to html entities.


Also, apparently, in an attempt to make valid XHTML, you have added
numerous end tags. E.g. where the English subscribe.html template has

<MM-Results>
<MM-Mailman-Footer>

yours has

<mm-results>
<mm-mailman-footer>

</mm-mailman-footer></mm-results>

Since the tags </mm-mailman-footer> and </mm-results> are not known to
Mailman, this will cause the HTML generated from the template to
contain the results followed by the footer followed by the two
extraneous end tags. Thus, while your templates look valid, the actual
HTML generated from them is not.

I have also run transcheck and fixed several errors: here are the
remaining ones:

 - near line 11187 ['bin/update:688']: Too few %(listname)s

I have attached po.diff.txt showing the changes I made to mailman.po.

The changes I made to the templates include removing the extraneous
</mm-*> tags, changing non-ascii characters to html entities in html
templates and fixing the erroneously escaped '(', ')', '<' and '>'
characters. This leaves the transcheck errors above.

The translation has been installed to the 2.1 branch on launchpad
although it still needs a few tweaks.
