grunt-gettext-checker

Compares the keys in a .pot file with those in a .po file to see if there are any differences. Any differences cause the task to fail. The most common usage for this is automated testing where this tasks can be used to check the .po files are maintained and up to date with the template.pot file.

This packaged was designed to be used with the template files generated by grunt-angular-gettext, but can be used more generally for .po/.pot file checking.
