Public bug reported:

Problem:
Translations of strings that have duplicates appear untranslated in Ubuntu. 
This affects especially very visible strings and makes Rosetta unusable as a 
primary infrastructure for translating OpenOffice.org See bug #60570 for 
details. 

Reason:
Upstream has been using the msgid_comments (as described in 
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/duplicates_duplicatestyle) for 
the POT templates for OpenOffice.org since about a year. Rosetta doesn't. One 
example, the "Open..." string from the main menu is
msgid "~Open"
in Rosetta, but 
msgid "_: 
GenericCommands.xcu#..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno_Open."
"Label.value.text\n"
"~Open..."
upstream. msgmerge is not able to merge the different strings together. 

Proposed fix:
Create the templates for OOo in Rosetta using the --duplicates=msgid_comment 
option in oo2po.

** Affects: openoffice.org-l10n (Ubuntu)
