The fuzzies in the Danish translation are there for one of two reasons:

1) I cannot find a dialog in which the text is present, so I'm unable to
verify that the translation is correct here.
2) I have no clue what the original English text means.

If I have the smallest doubt about a translation, I put fuzzy on it. My
guess is that it's only me who is so picky about correctness, because
most translations have no fuzzies in the translation ever, and I don't
see much discussion about wording on the mailing lists.

Let me give an example:

#: ID:3887,#: ID:3887,
msgid "Check"
msgstr ""

Do people realize that this could mean two things? Either as in "select"
(a checkbox) or "verify" (correctness) which is probably two different
words in non-English.

Time is a factor here, I simply haven't had the time to go further into
the fuzzies any further.

Best wishes,
Jan (Danish translator)
