55 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Merges two
56 Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an
57 existing PO file with translations which will be taken over
58 to the newly created file as long as they still match;
59 comments will be preserved, but extracted comments and file
60 positions will be discarded. The ref.pot file is the last
61 created PO file with up-to-date source
62 references but old translations, or a PO Template file
63 (generally created by xgettext); any translations or
64 comments in the file will be discarded, however dot comments
65 and file positions will be preserved. Where an exact match
66 cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better
67 results.</p>
