The german translation is based on the 1.8.4 version which is about 2
years old. If you think the german translation is younger tell me on
which version you think your translation is based on and i'll take a
look. Translated strings are fuzzied by default since the gettextisation
tool make a syntaxic analysis. fuzzy messages are the ones that matched
during the initial conversion. They need to be reviewed by somebody to
ensure they correspond to their respective msgids.

The upstream SVN repository is available at:

How can i remove fuzzy messages in a language i don't understand ? By learning
every language i had to convert ? Maybe by checking tagged/quoted text
and praying that i've not made mistakes some outdated translations or
by using some online translators, copy & paste each message and compare
the result with the translated text ? I've only removed some text which
seemed to be added by the last translator, removed means cut and paste
in additionnal file used to insert text during the po -> sgml
conversion.

Yes, I am able to do it. Do you want i send another po file with
correct headers ?
