NAME
msgmerge - merge message catalog and template
SYNOPSIS
msgmerge [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
DESCRIPTION
Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an existing PO file with
translations which will be taken over to the newly created file as long as they still
match; comments will be preserved, but extracted comments and file positions will be dis-
carded. The ref.pot file is the last created PO file with up-to-date source references
but old translations, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext); any transla-
tions or comments in the file will be discarded, however dot comments and file positions
will be preserved. Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to pro-
duce better results.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
