Thank you for this info! I'll use it for future updates.

Anyway, I would also like to know how to merge 2 files. I'll explain why. I 
have gnome-core from the stable1.4 branch. It is slightly different from the 
gnome-core for the gnome2.0 branch.

I already translated the 1.4 pot. I would like to merge it with the 2.0 pot 
so that I would only have to deal with the 2 or 3 different strings.

Actually, I have this done for gnome-core (the person that does my check ins 
put the 1.4 in 2.0 by mistake). But for the other files, I would like to be 
able to do the same.

I'll appreciate the info on this. Should I use msgmerge (any special 
parameters needed?) or should I merge in another way?

Thank you all! :)
