I avoided this problem the following way: - Saved a zip of the previous version - find . -name "*po" | xargs sed -i -e 's/~/_/g' - fed the resulting files to a new TM in Lokalize and asked for automatic substitution. The "multiple translations for the same short expression" problem stayed (and probably resulted in regressions I don't even know of), but the longer expressions clicked into place like a charm, I only had to unfuzzy them :). Maybe you all could do something like this next time.
