Re: Merging translations from Ubuntu, keeping fuzzy strings

[Jiro Matsuzawa <jmatsuzawa gnome org>]

Hi Åsmund,

A tool which I made for myself might be helpful for you.
I made it quickly for a transitory purpose 6 months ago. It does not
handle any errors. If you don't mind that, try it.
It is here: https://github.com/jmatsuzawa/xpomerge
(It requires the translate-toolkit)

Steps to use:
$ git clone git github com:jmatsuzawa/xpomerge.git
$ cd xpomerge
$ ./xpomerge org-gnome.po new-ubuntu.po > merged.po

I hope it is of help to you.
