In PO mode, you need to do Enter to open a string to transalte, then 
translate,
then ctrl-c c to exit.

The problem appears if I open Emacs in tty or under a graphical

I guess a recent update in my Debian Sid gives a problem but...

If we dont find any solution here I will report a bug

Thanks for your help
