Bug Description
If you merge a PO file with an updated POT file, the result may contain many "fuzzy" translations due to typos fixed in the POT, or new strings which are similar to old ones. However, these fuzzy translations are not exposed in Rosetta. Instead, the translator has to translate the string like a completely new string.

This is a conscious design decision since standard msgmerge feature works only in a very limited set of circumstances. With a tool like Launchpad it was found to do more harm than good.
The proper way to implement it is to have a good algorithm (probably word or tri-gram based): /blueprints. launchpad. net/rosetta/ +spec/rosetta- fuzzy-merge
