Hi there.

Pablo was discussing with me in PVT the possibility of disabling fuzzy
translations on hugin. The reason is that at least in some languages,
there are several fuzzy translations which don't make sense at all.

A few examples:

 * It has been reported that "Author" is being marked as "Automatic" in Chinese;
 * In pt_BR I see *tons* of mistranslations. One example is "All
images at once" being translated to something like "Add image:
cancel". :-(

I was believing that one of the reasons why this is happening was that
all messages from xrc files are first extracted to a global xrc file
before the translation happens. But after cooking a patch to improve
this I still see all errors there (tests and ideas and patches are
welcome - see the code inside src/translations/ - but I'm afraid the
solution would not be so simple).

So at least as the pt_BR maintainer, I would like to disable fuzzy
mode altoghether... What do other translators think about it?

Disabling fuzzy has its cost, as a lot of strings would be marked as
untranslated. See below the current statistics:
