Replying to [comment:1 Claude Paroz]:
> I'm not sure we should explain `gettext` functionality in Django docs.
The `use_fuzzy` option in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref
/django-admin/#django-admin-compilemessages should be a good hint to check
if something doesn't work the way you think.
> Maybe linking to https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node
/Fuzzy-Entries.html in the `use_fuzzy` explanation?
I agree that this should rather be a short hint and not a fully fledged
explanation. But I especially would like to mention the fact somewhere in
the django docs, that those fuzzy translations are automatically generated
by makemessages sometimes. So maybe a small hint box here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/i18n/translation/#message-
files stating that this can happen (and maybe when it happens) is the way
to go? Including the link to the docs at gnu.org you are mentioning would
work fine here as well.
