I think the issue is triggered by the \v escape sequences in the translations. (There are 6 of these in the file.)

I created the po using wmlgettext. I never used \v on purpose.

The occurrences of \v are in the translated strings, not the original strings, so they're not from wmlgettext. Presumably they were added when editing the file with Poedit.

According to https://github.com/vslavik/poedit/issues/637 "You can get the '\v' character if you press shift and enter simultaneously on Windows". (Note that the author of this bug report is a Wesnoth developer, so it appears that this is a known issue.)

Here is the file with all occurrences of \v removed

I just rewrote the de.po again, using wmlgettxt to be sure it has nothing to do with wmlgettxt.
The game now starts without problems, even so the de.po is in place.

Maybe I edited the file the last time, but I really don't remember using several enters. :hmm:

But the chance is very high, that this is the reason. Thanks gnombat.
Hopefully this will help somebody else, who encounters the problem.

There were 6 different translation strings in the file containing a \v (out of several thousand translations). It wasn't all 6 \v in one place.

Now logged as #5923. I don't know when the bug itself will be fixed, however the uselessness of the console error message is a one-liner.

У меня аналогичная ситуация. Насколько я понял проблема кроется в ОС? Если установить другую ее версию, то работать будет?

I have a similar situation. As I understand it, the problem lies in the OS? If you install a different version of it, will it work?

@Tigran1977

You might be able to use the following fix:

Open your translation files such as the .po. Search for \v and delete it. Than try again.
If you are not making translations at the moment, it might be that you downloaded a .po that contained \v.
You could either delete it, or save the .po file in another folder.

If it has nothing to do with translations, than it is a different problem.
You could try to check the logfiles of the game about that.


Machine Translation (Машинный перевод):

Возможно, вы сможете использовать следующее исправление:

Откройте файлы перевода, например .po. Найдите \ v и удалите его. Затем попробуйте еще раз.
Если вы в данный момент не выполняете переводы, возможно, вы скачали .po, содержащий \ v.
Вы можете либо удалить его, либо сохранить файл .po в другой папке.

Если это не связано с переводами, то это другая проблема.
Вы можете попробовать проверить лог-файлы игры об этом.
