Well, I was wondering about the line numbers too -- at first. Fact is 
that not all messages are translated  :(  Run ./help_diff.sh 
help_mp-it.h < help_mp-en.h in main/help to see what I mean. Also, make 
fills help_mp-it.h with these messages too. No idea which message is 
then at lines 1453 and 1455 though.

I had compiling issues once because of some unicode-brokenness on my 
system. Using --charset=ISO-8859-1 configure option fixed that. Antonio, 
you might try this (or something similar for you charset) and see it 
that helps.
