 When this automated comments generated?! do we have to generate it or keep 
it's values as it is.. unchanged?!

 I agree with u.. i didn't clarify my point quite well.. i mean the others; 
references we will not modify them.. shall we keep them in db or left them 
in PO file?..in other words.. while modify an already existing po file.. we 
will just modify the translation itself, write the status of the string; 
fuzzy flag; whether or not the string is fuzzy or not..or add new user 
comment or modify it.. we won't touch the references.. it's static data.. 
the question is:
Which better we left such data;references and the file header in file, or we 
should store it in db like any other data; msgID & msgStr ?
Got my point ?!

  Yes right.. but arabic letters didn't displayed correctly because u used 
console.. but propebly it will.. u adjust the encoding to be utf-8..
 Ghoneim why dont' u try to change a string in PO File.. write into PO 
file?!

Thanks
