Description
When we run makemessages - if there is a duplicate msgid in a specific locale - if the translations (msgstr) are identical in all cases - remove the duplicate msgid and don't display warnings or errors. Currently, a duplicate message definition error is displayed and the duplicate msgid is not removed. I have to check if the translations are identical and remove the duplicates manually. If the translations are identical, I don't see any advantage in displaying an error message, and I prefer that the duplicates will be removed automatically.

Duplicate
msgid' s are not allowed by the gettext infrastructure, there's nothing we can do to change that. However, you should generally not obtain duplicate messages when runningmakemessages.I suggest you open a thread in the Django forums (i18n section) with some concrete example so we can examine it and maybe find a solution.
