| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .\" Add any additional description here |
| .PP |
| 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 \fB\-\-repeated\fR option, |
| only duplicates are output, and all other messages are discarded. Comments |
| and extracted comments will be cumulated, except that if \fB\-\-use\-first\fR is |
| specified, they will be taken from the first translation. File positions |
| will be cumulated. When using the \fB\-\-unique\fR option, duplicates are discarded. |
| .PP |
| Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. |
