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