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.

Comment:

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 running `makemessages`.

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.
