# This folds the Qt, GTK, utils, and libtransmission strings all into a single potfile
# for ease of finding similar or conflicting strings that can be unified.
# 
# TODO: would it make sense to submit a single potfile to translators, then massage
# their translations to make per-client translation files? Even though there are
# superficial differences that prevent some unification (e.g. Qt accelerators "&Open"
# GTK accelerators "_Open") it might be *conceptually* similar to translators when they
# see the similar strings next to each other?
