a number of a possible translation (1, 2, ...) to change all the
translations to that text, 0 to input a text to use in all the
translations, l to add the exception to each of the PO files, or, if
you are using at least one equivalents file, a to add the exception to
the first of those files.
PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVESPOFileConsistency recognizes several PO file header directives. As with
all gettext lint tools, these directives are all prefixed with
X-POFile.
X-POFile-IgnoreConsistency: msgid

X-POFile-ConsistencyAlias: string1 string2
replace all ocorrences of string1 with string2 before checking
consistency

This files consists of a series of empty line separated blocks. For
example:
msgid 1
