[Bf-docboard] Simplified chinese po files outdated forseveralweeks and can't update po files locally

[Campbell Barton]

Running `make update_po` works for me and has done for the past few days.

Currently all PO files must be able to parse, otherwise updating
translations fails.
This probably seems sensible for the author of sphinx-intl, the issue
for us is any issue with any language prevents all other languages
from being updated.

We could split the update process by language to avoid this, however
this involves some extra work to the update script and it complicates
committing changes since some languages would need to be filtered out.

So far most/all errors were caused from committing merge conflicts.
If translators can take care not to do this, it would save us hassles.

Otherwise we could either change sphinx-intl or patch it at runtime to
allow skipping po files with errors.
