Well, I have a crappy sed one-liner that will do the trick for almost
every translated city with underscores except for "Dar es Saalam" and
"Buenos Aires" (I might be missing others). If you want to use it
backup your po file first, please. Here it goes...

sed -r -i "s/(^msgstr\ \"\w+\/)(\w+)_+/\1\2 /g" your_po_file

If there's a sed expert around who wants to share a better and more
elegant way to do this he'll be welcome :)

Abel
