When you merge the translations of an older version of ubuntu into the
current version (msgmerge quantal_ddtp.po raring_ddtp.po -o
merged_ddtp.po, for example), there will be a lot of 'fuzzy'
translations for strings that are similar (for example, meta packages
for different programs, debugging symbols etc). This can also save
considerable time, and does not have the problems your language might
have with google translate.
