Indeed, to select the strings in 1.po and not in 2.po, I think you could do: msgcomm -u 1.po 2.po 2.po -o res.po Strings which are both in 1 and 2 are discarded, and strings which are in 2 but not in 1 are also discarded since they are in both instance of 2.po. Only strings which are in 1.po but not in 2.po remain. Note that this is not tested, and that if it fails, doing such a tool which the perl tools for Po manipulation contained in po4a should be quite easy. Mt.
