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