Given Pootle's dismal support (or rather, unsupport) for real-time translation memory management and on-demand fuzzy matching, users of Pootle would regularly copy parts of the target text from elsewhere in the file. I suspect :-). What I mean is that if you have text like this: This is a blue box. This is a red box. This is a green box. This is a orange box. ...the user in Pootle has to retype the entire segment every time. In a real CAT tool, the tool would offer fuzzy matches directly after a similar source text was translated, thus saving the translator time. Okay, this is a short example, but for longer examples where previous segments are very similar to the current segment, is would be very likely that translators copy pieces of text from previous segments, to save time and typing effort.
