It shows the lower left part of the Lokalize window with po/fr/man1/script.1.po opened. In a fuzzy message, you can exactly see what has been changed since the last update. This makes it very easy to »unfuzzy« files. However, Lokalize is a bit sensible: the bigger the .po file, the more often Lokalize crashes … But I prefer it anyway, because the crashes happen only in very big files (> 1000 messages).
