Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an existing PO file with the old translations. The ref.po file is the last created PO file (generally by xgettext). This is useful for checking that you have translated each and every message in your program. Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better diagnostics.
