8 .SH DESCRIPTION
9 .\" Add any additional description here
10 .PP
11 Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an
12 existing PO file with translations which will be taken over to the newly
13 created file as long as they still match; comments will be preserved,
14 but extracted comments and file positions will be discarded. The ref.pot
15 file is the last created PO file with up\-to\-date source references but
16 old translations, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext);
17 any translations or comments in the file will be discarded, however dot
18 comments and file positions will be preserved. Where an exact match
19 cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better results.
