Ok, so you started with:
    msgmerge -o merge.po cs/cs.po foo.pot
If I understand correctly what you want, you can try instead
    msgmerge --compendium=../po/cs.po -o merge.po cs/cs.po foo.pot
with ../po/cs.po the current user-interface.po.

If that doesn't work, you can try the command "pretranslate" from the
Translate Toolkit with something like this after you migrated the help
translations to the new .pot file and stored the output in cs/cs.po
    pretranslate --tm=user-interface.po  cs/cs.po  all-together.po

I hope that helps.
