Oh thanks Isam for replying, but our question was different though.

imagine that I translate a .pot file and it generated a .po file, then two 
months after that, the developer changes his/her .pot file and adds new 
strings to it.

Now, I don't have to translate the new .pot file all over again, is there a 
way to translate only the untranslated strings? 

That is, when I edit the NEW .pot file in KBabel, all the strings are 
untranslated.. is there a way to *merge* the OLD .po file so I can only then 
go ahead and translate the new ones?

I hope I'm not confusing things.

cheers,
Jasem.
