A fuzzy translation will be ignored when compiling using "msgfmt". +Fuzzy translation can be marked by hands, but for most cases they are +marked automatically when running "msgmerge" to update your "XX.po" file. + +After fixing the corresponding translation, you must remove the "fuzzy" +tag in the comment. + Testing your changes --------------------
