I've tried this and it is enough for me.

Why should it be different? It launch a different command?

It worked very well, thank you Ulf, as usual.
Done this:
#!/bin/bash
LOCREPO=/home/marco/git-gnome/gimp-help-2
LLIST="da de el es fi fr hr it ja ko lt nl nn pl ru sl sv zh_CN"
POSRCS=introduction
PODEST=appendix
#MDEBUG="y"
cd $LOCREPO
pwd
for PONAT in `echo $LLIST`
do
if [ "$MDEBUG" == "y" ]; then
echo msgmerge --width=79 \
--compendium=po/${PONAT}/${POSRCS}.po \
--output-file=po/${PONAT}/${PODEST}.po \
po/${PONAT}/${PODEST}.po pot/${PODEST}.pot
else
msgmerge --width=79 \
--compendium=po/${PONAT}/${POSRCS}.po \
--output-file=po/${PONAT}/${PODEST}.po \
po/${PONAT}/${PODEST}.po pot/${PODEST}.pot
fi
done
I've already pushed it (hope it was all right).
The new whats-new page is a work in progress and it is not complete.
Feel free to add, correct, comment, and forgive my many errors, please.
PS: May I ask you a favour Ulf? Can you tell me why the command syntax is that?
Why you have to specify appendix.po(t) three times?
Looking at the command manual page I would never say that I would have
to put it like this.
>From the man page...
man msgmrg
MSGMERGE(1) GNU MSGMERGE(1)
NAME
msgmerge - merge message catalog and template
SYNOPSIS
msgmerge [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
....
it seems just a 2 argument command...
TIA
