NAME

       intltool-merge - merge translated strings into various types of file

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-merge [option]... PO_DIRECTORY FILENAME OUTPUT_FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Merge  translated strings in po files in PO_DIRECTORY with the original
       application file FILENAME, and output the file  OUTPUT_FILE  containing
       both original and localized strings.

       If  FILENAME  is  an  XML  file,  OUTPUT_FILE will contain repeated xml
