I see.

Well, another Toolkit tool you might want to try, is pot2po with a TM. 
I've just tested it and it seems to work.  First, rename your original 
PO file to "something.pot" (so that pot2po will think of it as a POT 
file), then run the following:

pot2po --tm=yourfile.csv -i something.pot -o latestfile.po

The CSV file must be comma delimited, with the source and target text in 
columns B and C, and the CSV file must be UTF8.  What this does, is that 
it uses the CSV file as a TM to translate the PO(t) file.  The downside 
is that non-exact matches will be fuzzy translated.  But that's where 
PoEdit comes in... :-)
