Some of you may have observed that the number of entries of each locale are quite different. The reason is that po files in some locales and/or modules are not kept up to date with the corresponding pot file. To ensure po files stay up2date, it is a good idea to run the following command before you start working on a file and before you commit the file:
msgmerge po-file pot-file > tmp-file (this is to merge with the latest pot file)
mv tmp-file po-file
msgfmt -cvo /dev/null po-file (this is view translation stat as well as to do basic format check)
If you are the coordinator for the entire locale, and want to do this regularly for all modules in this locale, you can use the attached simple script to do so: automerge.sh <lang-code>
Note: 1) put the script into a directory in your command path 2) chmod 755 3) be aware of potential file conflicts
