I have downloaded a Welsh translation file for the Drupal 6.x project, from the localisation server (the Welsh translation is not yet available as a project / po file for importing).
I have unpacked it appropriately within the structure of my drupal distribution, but received the following error. Clearly an error within the translation files, but can anyone suggest whether there is an easy fix?
I have tried making contact via the Welsh group, but have been unable to contact anyone associated with the project.

This issue is not a translation issue. It is a file / folder permissions issue.

I am interested in your solution. I have all my module folders set at 755 permission but the error persists.
File permissions
I only got as far as doing this locally on a Mac. It was less than straightforward. It involved setting all the file permissions appropriately (I had to experiment), using the File / Info dialogue and the Sharing and Permissions setting: Apply to Enclosed Items.
