Bug Description

Binary package hint: git-core

When scanning the import queue in Launchpad Rosetta for issues that need manual intervention, I found the following issue with the git-core package, which prevents a smooth import into Launchpad Rosetta and causes the Ubuntu Translation Coordinators to manually adjust or remove .po files.

in the po/gitk-git/ directory the gitk-git.pot template file is missing. Therefor corresponding .po files cannot be imported into Rosetta and won't appear in the language-packs.
If the translations are not used anyways, please consider to remove the po/gitk-git/ directory.
If the translations should be used, please fix the build script to actually build the .pot file.

For general guidelines how to ensure smooth imports into Launchpad Rosetta, please see:

I am not sure TCL is not using .mo files for gettext but a custom .msg TCL catalog.

Adi was right, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/gitk/filelist this package ships translations in a custom format, this is not supported.
