Yeah, have to say I agree with mr. Morales. I used to be of the other
opinion, but thinking about it, it makes more sense to have them
verbatim copied.
Also, if a translator fails to translate a msgid, he or she should
firstly ask the related list (django-i18n, django-se, etc.) IMO. There
should be no case where a translator has to set a translation fuzzy
just because he or she doesn't know of a good translation.
I usually fuzzy out ambiguous translations, like the translations for
doing "3" -> "3rd" etc. in Django.
Maybe we should introduce some new markup for "msgids we've not taken
care of"? I mean something like:
#: foo/bar.py:123
#, unrev,python-format
msgid "Hello %s!"
msgstr ""
