It means you'll find the errors respectively in lines 514 and 1124. You seem 
to confuse lines in file and messages - file has 329 messages but rather much 
more lines. Open it in some texte editor (Kate, GEdit, whatever you like), 
check you have option to view lines in and you'll see errors are exactly on 
indicated lines (or very nearby).
