--- Comment #3 from Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) <[email protected]> ---
The way translatable strings in po files are generated makes sure that each
instance is unique, by using a msgctxt context marker:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Contexts.html

This ensures that each string can be translated differently in different places
in the UI, without translators sending extra patches or bug reports all the
time.

Consequence is that we would not save anything in terms of disk space by
merging .mo files in the installer packages, because all the contained strings
are unique and there are no duplications in different .mo files that could be
unified if we would merge everything into one file.
