That would be extremely bad. Fuzzy translations are often completely wrong. It would be better to have an English string which nobody can understand than a translated string meaning something else.

IIRC it depends on the OS. For Linux, the string in source code is used, as other say. But for some other gettext implementation, say in Solaris, I have the impression that the fuzzy string is STILL used.

Fuzzies are ignored in the conversion, i.e., the original source string will show up in the interface.

This is because fuzzy matching is not good enought to provide a meaningful translation.

Question regarding fuzzy messages in po files
Hi, I have a quick question about fuzzy translations in po files. When po files are compiled to mo files, are the fuzzy translations included or is the source string included instead? regards Shane Wims Localisation Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +35316058293 Novell, Inc.
