msgfmt --check is not supposed to be supported by KDE3 anymore.
Only msgfmt --check-header is

Yes, but there are so many of such cases that it is better not to use the full 
--check but only --check-header.

For KDE4, it is planned to use the brand new (development) Gettext (with 
context support) and Gettext has support of Qt's %1 notation , so --check 
should be again possible.
