po-duplicate-message-definition (PO005)#

The same msgid is translated more than once.

What it does#

Reports msgids that appear in more than one entry of a file. Files in an i18n_extra folder are skipped.

Why is this bad?#

Odoo exports translations by msgid and keeps only one of them, so one of the translations is lost on the next export. Use the i18n_extra folder for translations that must differ.

Fix safety#

Safe when the duplicates are identical apart from their references: they are merged into the first one. Duplicates with different translations need a human decision.
