Well, I was thinking of the sledgehammer approach. That is, just whack
the string "<fuzzy>" in front of the part that's fuzzy. And then don't
accept translations with that string in them.
This is doable with the current system. If people like I can write a
script that fuzzy matches untranslated parts and put in the translated
version. This won't make new translations but it will give better
suggestions when you start to translate a new description.
Have a nice day,
