I think you missed the point.  I choose a non-translated string so I
wouldn't have to translate it.

Let's try another example—this time with a string that requires some
translation.

Again, in the po/pt_BR.po file, find line 28.  This should correspond
to the glossary entry for Canonical.

Set the msgstr to the following translation:

msgstr ""
"\\newglossaryentry{Canonical}{name={Canonical}, description={Canonical, a "
"mantenedora oficial do Ubuntu, provê suporte para o núcleo do sistema "
"Ubuntu. Possui cerca de 310 membros pagos ao redor do mundo a fim de "
"garantir que os fundamentos do sistema operacional sejam estáveis, bem como "
"verificar todos os trabalhos submetidos por colaboradores voluntários. Para "
"aprender mais sobre a Canonical, visite \\url{http://www.canonical.com}.}}";

Now, when the get_msgstrgs_with_unescaped_specialchars script runs, it
will complain about this line.  The complaint is in error and the PDF
compiles successfully.
