  50 <p>Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po
  51 file is an existing PO file with translations which will be
  52 taken over to the newly created file as long as they still
  53 match; comments will be preserved, but extracted comments
  54 and file positions will be discarded. The ref.pot file is
  55 the last created PO file with up-to-date source references
  56 but old translations, or a PO Template file (generally
  57 created by xgettext); any translations or comments in the
  58 file will be discarded, however dot comments and file
  59 positions will be preserved. Where an exact match cannot be
  60 found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better results.</p>
