Hmm.. I saw in the buildlog from the successful build that it skipped
the Chinese translation of a particular string. The reason proved to be
a missing '<' character, i.e. the translated string contains an instance
of '/em>' instead of '</em>'. And that's the correct behavior; it should
check the Mallard syntax and skip translations with invalid syntax.

Anyway, I added the missing '<', and then ubuntu-docs built with the
itstool version in focal.

So the direct reason for the build failure is a syntactically incorrect
translation. OTOH, translators make mistakes, and a bad translation
*should not* make the whole package build to fail.
