I remember this discussion goes towards running msgmerge with the 
original .pot automatically as a pre_commit requirement or somthing similar. 
Actually, I forgot this issue and now noticed again that:

Arabic has a total of 11407 words
English-GB has a total of 11373 words
Welsh has a total of 11403 words
...

If all the .pot files on one directory, I can go msgmerge them manually but 
this would be a rather tedious process to make for each file.

A prerequirement to scripting this process would be to make the po files 
consistent on their folders. The situation now is that you find some of the 
po files in a folder called po (like autorun/po/ar.po) whereas others on the 
same directory as the pot (like up2date/ar.po) and yet other files 
distributed between both like (system-config-lvm/po/ar.po and 
system-config-lvm/bg.po). Any reason for this?
