[<i>OPTION</i>] <i>def.po ref.pot</i></p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Mandatory
arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.</p>
