There was never "fuzzy" support in Launchpad. And since Launchpad exposed PO file fuzzy flags as "needs review" feature, it was very confusing since there were also "unreviewed suggestions". So it's not about not trusting translation teams, it's about making Launchpad an effective tool. > I don't want to sound too antagonistic here (we all want to improve > Rosetta!), but I view the lack of support for fuzzy strings as a > serious problem, making launchpad translations inherently more > wasteful when comparing to 'direct' po-file translations (such as the > GNOME damned lies translation site or translationproject.org). Do remember that Launchpad is open source now as well. There is only so much we can do, but there are unlimited possibilities for anyone else. And then again, Launchpad does deal with PO files directly. > Do the downloaded files from Launchpad contain the fuzzies (such that > they are still there behind the scenes)?

No, but you don't need them either. What you need, and what fuzzies are generated from are part of "obsolete" messages. msgmerge should reuse them (obsolete messages are still "translated"). Eg. try that with any translation like that. Cheers, Danilo -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
