10 .PP
11 Unifies duplicate translations in a translation catalog.
12 Finds duplicate translations of the same message ID. Such duplicates are
13 invalid input for other programs like msgfmt, msgmerge or msgcat. By
14 default, duplicates are merged together. When using the \fB\-\-repeated\fR option,
15 only duplicates are output, and all other messages are discarded. Comments
16 and extracted comments will be cumulated, except that if \fB\-\-use\-first\fR is
17 specified, they will be taken from the first translation. File positions
18 will be cumulated. When using the \fB\-\-unique\fR option, duplicates are discarded.
