This is where my knowledge of po file technologies begins to run out,
but what we have here is a pot template which is regenerated with
xml2po, managed with version control, and uploaded to Rosetta. I
really wouldn't expect Rosetta to recognise that strings are similar,
but then again, if other technologies you use can do that, and it's
genuinely desirable, then it sounds like something you could take up
with the Rosetta developers. The best way is to email the Launchpad
list or file a bug.

That sounds like a good test case with which to file a bug about this behaviour.
