That's perfect and will avoid misunderstandings (such as mine: I
was believing that fuzzy translations were used by the UI).

The problem is that new commits don't automatically update the
.po files, which are updated using extract-messages.sh.
After running extract-messages.sh, on r5065:
de.po: 1089 translated messages, 29 fuzzy translations, 11
untranslated messages.

Even if it was not a typo, it would be a grammar error:
"final images has". I fixed it on trunk (s/images/image/),
