Hi, Hmm, since it seems that there is no other explanation showing up, I'll throw in the five cents I may have wrongly assumed to be too obvious to mention:

Translations marked as "#, fuzzy" (like the two here) won't be used in the actual compiled translation before the fuzzy tag is removed (just removing that entire comment line will do the trick, or the 'fuzzy' word if there's more than one tag on the same line). Entries are marked fuzzy when gettext spots some promisingly similar strings to provide as suggested translations for new strings. See also: http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Gettext_Guide For example, if the original string has a change in punctuation or a typo fix, it's really a new string to translate, but gettext (msgmerge) figures out that it's rather similar to the old obsolete translation and suggests that you use that as basis for making the new translation. This algorithm of course sometimes provides thoroughly silly results, so they're not automatically used for anything. You can see in the Freeciv text example above that the translation is actually to a longer text than the msgid, so it really is in need of translator checking before applying. :) I hope this helps, --Sini _______________________________________________ Freeciv-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-i18n
