update .po file in django without losing current translations

Question

I use:

django-admin makemessages -l fa_IR

to update translation file. the process is going well without any issue. but when I run the command after translating .po file, all translations which have been done before will be erased and replaced with a fresh .po file.

the .mo file is still available.
