Comment (by rejoc):
Well... I could have choose any msgid that gets duplicated...
Within a simple .po file, a single msgid, even if it is duplicated, will
be translated by a single msgstr (seems to be the last non empty msgstr).
As you say, the translation of a same message can be translated
differently and if you don't pay attention, you won't see that the message
you are currently translating is used somewhere else in the same .po file,
but with another meaning (very likely to append as your .pot file grows).
Here, the context is the .po file and there is only one translation.
So having the msgids deduplicated (while keeping a trace of its different
locations) looked like a good way to detect/avoid bad translations.
And it does not break anything in the logic of collect/add|merge/compile
process
But there is another issue (bug?) :
if you have a .po file containing
{{{
#: demo/templates/master.html:75
msgid "some text"
msgstr "un petit texte"
#: demo/templates/welcome.html:25
msgid "some text"
msgstr ""
}}}
it compiles and gives the expected translation of "un petit texte" for all
the occurrences of "some text".
Now you do a "tg-admin i18n merge" (usually after a collect because you
modified something) and... you get :
{{{
#: demo/templates/master.html:75
msgid "some text"
msgstr ""
#: demo/templates/welcome.html:25
msgid "some text"
msgstr ""
}}}
You lost your translation because merge uses the last msgstr it finds in
the .po for a given msgid.
(I have included a patch for that one... It keeps that last non empty
message like compile does)
