I have downloaded .pot files from translation. But I want to translate them to Marathi and convert to .po file.

Use the translator's guide
You need to look carefully at the translator's guide. You'll see there is a section on translation programs to use. Personally I use POEdit which works fine for me. You convert pot to po very simply by opening the pot file in POEdit then saving it as a po file.
I've no idea how Marathi works but you may find you have an issue with plural forms and you might find it useful to look here.
By the way, if you know anybody who is thinking of doing a Bengali translation, I would love to know!
pot files error in POEdit
i want to translate drupal in urdu , for that i have downloded drupal-pot-5.x-2.0.tar.gz fle from http://drupal.org/project/drupal-pot and extracted it, but all fiels there are in pot format, i tried to open them in POEdit and translated them but when i save them after translation i get a fatal error mesage even though i choose to save it in po format. plz help me am i using teh wronge files or there is another way of using POEdit for pot file, thns in anticipation
Can you be more specific?
It's not clear to me what you are trying to do. You need to start by doing "File/New catalog from pot file" - this will allow you to open the pot file and save it as a po file.
I don't know if you will have a problem with RTL (am I right in thinking that Urdu is a RTL script?). You might try looking at the Arabic translation to see how it is done.
You need to be more specific about exactly what fatal error message - some are more fatal than others! Sometimes it complains because it doesn't mile "\r" and "\n" for example, also you need to be VERY careful to escape any double-quotes or single-quotes that you might use.
Don't know if that is any help...
