... no, it's not possible to do that. If you want to merge the PO
template, you need to use the gettext distribution from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext for win32. It provides the
msgmerge program you had for linux to do the merging for the template
file.
When you want to maintain a branch translation, you need to use
po-merge.py to transfer translations from the trunk to the branch.
I hope that clarifies things? If not, please tell me.
bye,
Erik.
