I would like to add a passage about how fuzzy strings are handled by the
compilemessages command here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/i18n/translation/#miscellaneous
I'm pretty new to gettext and didn't know about the concept of fuzzy
translations. I overlooked / ignored the fuzzy statements, which were
automatically generated by invoking makemessages. It cost me quite some
time today to figure out why those translations did not work and I think
this may have been prevented by some documentation about it.
I hereby want to reassure that this is a feasible thing to add.
