[Scilab-Dev] Numerous .po fuzzy irrelevant and misleading translations

[Clément David]

Hello Samuel,

The fuzzy translation is cleared by the dispatchLocalization.sh script. So for 6.1, the commit [1] should remove them all.

> Hello,
> 
> After some recent commit on CodeReview including some .po files, we can scan
> all .po files against fuzzy entries.
> This yields a set of 1508 fuzzy entries, over almost 8700 msgid.
> The issue is that, when we have a look to related translations, for more than
> 90% of them they are actually completely irrelevant. A very short sample (for
> fr_FR):
> 
> 
> #, fuzzy
> msgid "Number of output event ports"
> msgstr "Le nombre de lignes doit être une puissance de deux."
> 
> #, fuzzy
> msgid "The block must have at least two output ports"
> msgstr "Le bloc Trigger doit avoir des valeurs discrètes en entrée."
> 
> #, fuzzy
> msgid "Indices to extract"
> msgstr "Bits à extraire"
> 
> #, fuzzy
> msgid "Number of outputs"
> msgstr "Nombre de nœuds :"
> 
> 
> It is then easy to understand that errors messages or labels in interfaces will be
> completely misleading.
> 
> How about clearing all the fuzzy translations?
