The following files of Mozilla Thunderbird nightly build makes problems to
Translate Toolkit tools for converting to PO files:

mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/msgAccountCentral.dtd:

<!ENTITY accountsSectionHdr.label     "Accounts"> <!ENTITY
subscribeImapFolders.label   "Manage folder subscriptions">

(In one line.)

mozilla/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/subscribe.dtd:

<!-- commenting out until bug 38906 is fixed
<!ENTITY messagesHeader.label         "Messages"> -->

(Better: <!-- <!ENTITY ... "..."> -->)

Please, although Translate Toolkit is not "official" tool of Mozilla, fix these
issues.

Unfortunately, "<!-- <!ENTITY" doesn't help.  Something like "<! ENTITY" should
be used.

The first condition ie that <!ENTITY > tags start on the same line as the previous is still present in the toolkit.  It is unlikely that we will solve this corner case as the source DTD should be corrected.  I've raised this bug http://bugs.wordforge.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225 which tracks that issue.

The second case of respecting XML comments is fixed in the latest Toolkit (I only tested against head)

Thanks for the report, I stumbled across this, please report future bugs against the toolkit at http://bugs.wordforge.org
