Olivier, I know that msgmerge is a command-line tool that can update to the
latest .pot, copying the comments and inserting empty msgids, but I am not
familiar with it in detail. Also msgattrib with proper options may strip
out the "fuzzy" directives.
Other people on this list may know these tools, and graphical alternatives,
better than I do. Can any other translators give Olivier advice, please?
