Remove fuzzy markers from manually updated translation files.

README.md

Simple script to remove the fuzzy keyword from translations files when those have been translated manually. Needs a file containing the modified lines, which can be created with the followign script:

git diff base.po new.po | grep '^+[^#]' > updated_lines

It can then be invoked with:

./remove_fuzzy.py new.po updated_lines new_removed.po

The resulting file can then be merged (i.e., with pomerge):

pomerge -t base.po -i new_removed.po updated.po
