Download the two po-files and run the command: msgmerge lucid-po-file.po maverick-po-file.po > merged.po This will move the translated messages over to the new po-file using fuzzy matching. After this you'll still have to review the fuzzies, but this is much easier if you install a po diffing tool such as podiff from e.g. pyg3t[1] along with wdiff, which can be used to highlight the differences. After that the po-file can be uploaded and completed e.g. on launchpad.
