No, KBabel works with PO files. In fact, they are the only files that really 
work.

So your problem is probably somewhere else. I would first disable the msgfmt 
check after save to see if that is not the problem.

Also you could use
msgfmt --check-header file.po
(where file.po is the file to check) to see if the file that you load has a 
correct syntax or not. (Older KBabel version had some problems at load, which 
could be only seen at save. Now (KBabel 1.11.2 of KDE 3.5.2 and later) such 
bad files are supposed to be rejected at load.)
