Hi all,

I have learned gettext during the last months as I've been
translating CDS Invenio into Catalan.  So what I have learned
may be trivial to some of you, but I'd like to share it with
other novices like me.

When I did my `cvs update -APd' today, my catalan translations
patch didn't apply (I'm using quilt[1] for that, but that's
another story), because original file changed too much.

I tried to update it via msgmerge, but either I didn't understand
the command or it syntax.

I've found potool[2] easier to use.

 $ potool current-cvs-file.po myoldtranslation.po >updatedfile.po

potool (at least the Debian package) has a wrapper script that
produces statitics like Tibor's one on the Web[3]

Hope it helps somebody a bit,

Ferran
