The best way to discover these sorts of errors is to run "plutil /path/to/file.plist". It uses the default option (-lint), which checks the file for syntax errors. This works because a .strings file is really just a plist in the old school non-xml format. If it finds an error, it'll tell you:
2011-04-12 09:31:15.575 plutil[6473:903] CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
Localizable.strings: Unexpected character / at line 1
Cheers,
Dave
