+-----------------
164

165
+Fuzzy translation is a translation marked by comment "fuzzy" to let you
166
+know that the translation is out of date because the "msgid" has been
167
+changed. A fuzzy translation will be ignored when compiling using "msgfmt".
168
+Fuzzy translation can be marked by hands, but for most cases they are
169
+marked automatically when running "msgmerge" to update your "XX.po" file.
170
+
171
+After fixing the corresponding translation, you must remove the "fuzzy"
172
+tag in the comment.
