Exactly, the entries marked as fuzzy by `msgmerge` are generated by a
simple lexicographic comparison and the probability of them being not
totally accurate is high so a) they require intervention from the
translator (to review/correct them and remove the fuzzy flag) and b) they
aren't used in the final translation.
`msgfmt` is the utility from the GNU gettext suite that compiles `.po`
files to `.mo` files (the ones that get finally used by the i18n
machinery) and it is executed by the `compilemessages` Django management
command. See http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html
#msgfmt-Invocation (particularly the `--use-fuzzy` command line switch,
which isn't used by `compilemessages`)
