43Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both
44contain the same set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an
45existing PO file with the translations. The ref.pot file is
46the last created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally
47created by xgettext). This is useful for checking that you
48have translated each and every message in your program.
49Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used
50to produce better diagnostics.</td></table>
