msguniq - unify duplicate translations in message catalog
SYNOPSIS
msguniq [OPTION]
[
INPUTFILE] DESCRIPTION
Unifies duplicate translations in a translation catalog.
Finds duplicate translations of the same message ID. Such
duplicates are invalid input for other programs like msgfmt,
msgmerge or msgcat. By default, duplicates are merged
together. When using the 
--repeated option, only
duplicates are output, and all other messages are discarded.
Comments and extracted comments will be cumulated, except
that if 
--use-first is specified, they will be taken
from the first translation. File positions will be
cumulated. When using the 
--unique option, duplicates
are discarded.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short
options too.
