NAME¶
msguniq - unify duplicate translations in message catalog
SYNOPSIS¶
msguniq [
OPTION] [
INPUTFILE]
DESCRIPTION¶
Unifies duplicate translations in a translation catalog. Finds duplicate
translations of the same message ID. Such duplicates are invalid input for
other programs like msgfmt, msgmerge or msgcat. By default, duplicates are
merged together. When using the
--repeated option, only duplicates are
output, and all other messages are discarded. Comments and extracted comments
will be cumulated, except that if
--use-first is specified, they will
be taken from the first translation. File positions will be cumulated. When
using the
--unique option, duplicates are discarded.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
