Bug Description

Problem:
Translations of strings that have duplicates appear untranslated in Ubuntu. This affects especially very visible strings and makes Rosetta unusable as a primary infrastructure for translating OpenOffice.org See bug #60570 for details.

Reason:
Upstream has been using the msgid_comments (as described in http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/duplicates_duplicatestyle) for the POT templates for OpenOffice.org since about a year. Rosetta doesn't. One example, the "Open..." string from the main menu is
msgid "~Open"
in Rosetta, but
msgid "_: GenericCommands.xcu#..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno_Open."
"Label.value.text\n"
"~Open..."
upstream. msgmerge is not able to merge the different strings together.

Proposed fix:
Create the templates for OOo in Rosetta using the --duplicates=msgid_comment option in oo2po.

Alternatively, do not use the POTs from upstream when merging back from Rosetta into Ubuntu, but use

--duplicates=merge

when creating the POT from en-US.sdf before merging the translations from Rosetta with them.
