Well, I was thinking of the sledgehammer approach. That is, just whack the string "<fuzzy>" in front of the part that's fuzzy. And then don't accept translations with that string in them. This is doable with the current system. If people like I can write a script that fuzzy matches untranslated parts and put in the translated version. This won't make new translations but it will give better suggestions when you start to translate a new description.
