3. the script made by nadim to remove duplicate entries of msgid and msgstr 
turned to remove hundereds of valid translations. Today we began reinventing 
the wheel and doing the same translation again. I am afraid this would also 
be removed by this frightening script. I believe in such cases we need to 
deal with duplicate entries manually by a human being or at least afer 
examining the translation of each file before running such a script. Now, I 
get lost about how to proceed. I am afraid those issues are going to hinder 
and seriously affect our work if not addressed in time.

Example if valid translations removed by the script:

MIN, MINA, MAX, MAXA, SUM, PRODUCT, AVERAGE, AVERAGEA, COUNT, COUNTA, NPV, 
IRR, MIRR, MIRR, ISPMT, VAR, VARA, VARP, VARPA, STDEV, STDEVA, STDEVP, ...
