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
discarded. 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
translations 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 produce better results.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
