I have a po file for the hebrew (he) translation. It is missing many of 
the newer entries (the whole Layout menu, Refs, TOC and a host of
others) How do I add new entries for it?

getext seems to lack a tutorial. Alternatively - can someone point me to 
one (and/or link to it from the i18n page)? 
I tried to simply use: 
xgettext -C -a `find src -name \*.[hC] -type f`

This command basicalyl extracts all possible strings (I think there should
also be a specially-formatted comment in the line before, but I'm not
sure).

There is a program called msgmerge which merges those changes to an
existing po file. It works fine:
msgmerge po/he.po messages.po  > new_po_file.po

However - I get a file with tons of messages. Many of them are probably
irrelevant.

So I guess I need to either give some limiting parametrs to xgettext
(exclude some files, etc.) or filter its output somehow.

How was the original po file created?

Please CC your reply to me, as I don't read this list (soory - too much
traffic for me).

Thanks in advance
