This issue has been solved indirectly, apparently (I don't see changes 
to the package definition since 2019).

I followed the steps to reproduce the issue, but the file attached to 
the initial report opens successfully:

Screenshot of Poedit 2.2.4 loading the catalog correctly.

This test was using:

guix ac19ae3
poedit 2.2.4

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Launch Poedit
2. Open the attached PO file (guix-website-es.po)


EXPECTED RESULT

☑ Poedit displays the catalog correctly


UNEXPECTED RESULT

☒ The catalog is not displayed. Instead you see an error:

Poedit Error: Unhandled exception occurred: Cannot execute program: msgfmt -o /dev/null -c "/path/to/guix-website-es.po"


WORKAROUND

Start Poedit in a guix shell that adds gettext:

guix shell poedit gettext
poedit

Then, you can open the PO files normally.

So it seems the package definition for Poedit is missing gettext as a run-time dependency (?).
