description
Compare two
Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same
set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an existing PO file
with the translations. The ref.pot file is the last created
PO file, or a PO Template file (generally created by
xgettext). This is useful for checking that you have
translated each and every message in your program. Where an
exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to
produce better diagnostics.
