--- Comment #7 from Joseph S. Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
You have to ignore translations marked "fuzzy", like msgfmt does, when
assessing whether translations are correct or duplicates. Fuzzy translations
are simply an approximate match to a message from a previous version that might
help the translator in writing a new / updated translation. Sometimes they are
the translation of a previous version of the English message, which the
translator just has to update; sometimes they are an unrelated message.

If all the cases reported here are "fuzzy", this bug report should be marked
INVALID, because fuzzy translations are never intended to be a correct or
usable translation of the message in question, just a starting point for the
translator to use or discard as they wish.
